What Role Does Electron Microscopy Play in Histology?
Electron microscopy is indispensable for examining the ultrastructure of cells and tissues. TEM provides detailed images of internal cell structures, such as organelles and macromolecular complexes, at nanometer resolution. SEM, on the other hand, offers high-resolution surface images, revealing the topography and morphology of cells and tissues. These techniques are essential for studying fine structural details that are beyond the resolution of light microscopy.
