## Abstract Our aim in this study was to compare reflection contrast microscopy (RCM) with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to understand whether RCM could be used in the histopathological diagnosis of various kidney diseases as a less expensive and an easier alternative to TEM. The diagnoses

Abstract
An immunoelectron microscopy technique was applied to label Chrysanthemum leuchanthemum phytoplasma in infected leaf tissues of Chrysanthemum leuchanthemum L. and Catharanthus roseus L. plants. Specific monoclonal antibodies at different dilutions and secondary antimouse antibody conjugated with colloidal gold particles of different sizes were used. The monoclonal antibodies demonstrated their specificity against the antigen; immunocytological methods permitted the precise localization and identification of phytoplasmas in thin sections from infected tissues.

A simple illustration of how useful a combination of microscopy techniques can be is provided in what follows, as results of TEM, SEM, AFM and STEM EDX are added up to describe dislocation pits. AFM in tapping mode fails to measure their depth but shows greater details of lower amplitude topography
