<p>The past decade has seen a remarkable increase in the use of electron microscopy as a researm tool in biology and medicine. Thus, most instituΒ tions of higher learning now boast several electron optical laboratories having various levels of sophistication. Training in the routine use of elecΒ tr

<p>This volume is a continuation of two prior books on advanced electron microscope techniques. The purpose of this series has been to provide inΒ depth analyses of methods which are considered to be at the leading edge of electron microscopic research procedures with applications in the biological
<p>Electron microscopy is frequently portrayed as a discipline that stands alone, separated from molecular biology, light microscopy, physiology, and biochemistry, among other disciplines. It is also presented as a technically demanding discipline operating largely in the sphere of "black boxes" and
<p>This book covers conventional light microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, intermediate and high voltage transmission electron microscopy, digital imaging and telemedicine, cryotechniques, fixation protocols, cytochemistry and immunocytochemistry, photography
<p>The use of the term "advanced" in the title of this book is somewhat arΒ bitrary and very much relative with respect to time. Many techniques which were considered at the "cutting edge" of ultrastructural methodology just a few years ago are now rou tin ely used in numerous laboratories. One coul
