[Scanning electron microscopy with corrosive preparations in pathology]

Methodical aspects of scanning electron microscopy of corrosion preparations (SEMCP) are described on the basis of the authors' own data and those from the literature. A critical analysis of the currently used injection masses and the results obtained by SEMCP is given. New data are emphasized, introduced into pathological morphology after the adoption of SEMCP. Relief formations of casts of the blood and lymph vessels in health and disease are classified. The prospects of and main approaches to the use of SEMCP in pathological morphology are discussed.
