Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) offers valuable insights into atherosclerosis and gastrointestinal pathology, aiding disease staging and therapy monitoring. While its cardiac applications are developing, SEM provides crucial 3D data in ophthalmology and aids hematology cell characterization when combined with immunocytochemistry.

Area of Science:

  • Pathology
  • Microscopy
  • Medical Diagnostics

Background:

  • Review of personal experience applying Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) across multiple medical disciplines.
  • Exploration of SEM's current and potential contributions to understanding disease pathology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the application of SEM in cardiology, gastroenterology, and ophthalmology.
  • To assess SEM's utility in diagnosing and monitoring various diseases.
  • To highlight procedures for optimal correlative microscopy using SEM.

Main Methods:

  • Personal experience and case reviews of SEM application in clinical settings.
  • Correlative microscopy integrating SEM with conventional morphological examinations and immunocytochemistry.
  • Examination of bioptic specimens for detailed morphological analysis.

Main Results:

  • SEM improved understanding of early atherosclerosis and documented pathological features missed by conventional methods.
  • SEM significantly contributed to staging gastrointestinal diseases (celiac, peptic ulcer, Crohn's, ulcerative colitis) and monitoring mucosal healing.
  • SEM provided novel 3D information in ophthalmology and, with immunocytochemistry, aided cell population characterization in hematology.

Conclusions:

  • SEM is a valuable tool for enhancing knowledge in atherosclerosis and gastrointestinal pathology.
  • SEM offers unique advantages in ophthalmology and emerging applications in hematology.
  • Continuous correlation between SEM and other morphological methods is crucial for comprehensive diagnostics.
