Minimizing sample error in transmission electron microscopy
Journal of Microscopy
|April 1, 1981
Abstract:
The last few years have seen an increase in the use of electron microscopy, both for research and as a diagnostic tool in pathology. With the increase in the number of specimens being used for diagnostic purposes, limitations due to sampling error have become apparent. The method described is designed to help overcome this problem.
Insights
Electron microscopy is increasingly used in pathology diagnostics. A new method addresses sampling errors, improving diagnostic accuracy for pathology specimens.
Area of Science:
- Pathology
