What is the Role of Electron Microscopy in Histology?
Electron microscopy (EM) uses a beam of electrons to achieve much higher resolution than light microscopy. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is used to examine thin slices of tissue at the molecular level, revealing intricate details of cellular organelles. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) provides three-dimensional images of tissue surfaces, offering insights into the morphology and spatial arrangement of cells.
