Test Details
Biopsy electron microscopy is a technique used to examine tissues and cells at a high magnification using an electron microscope. It involves taking a small sample of tissue, known as a biopsy, and preparing it for examination under the electron microscope.
During the preparation process, the biopsy sample is typically fixed in a chemical solution to preserve its structure, dehydrated using a series of alcohol washes, and embedded in a resin to provide support for thin sectioning. Thin sections of the tissue are then cut using an ultramicrotome, resulting in slices that are typically around 50-100 nanometers thick.
These thin sections are then mounted onto a grid and stained with heavy metals, such as lead or uranium, to enhance contrast and visualize different cellular structures. The grid with the stained tissue sections is then placed in the electron microscope for imaging.
Electron microscopy uses a beam of electrons instead of light to create an image. The electrons interact with the sample, producing signals that are detected and used to generate an image.
The high magnification and resolution of electron microscopy allow for detailed examination of cellular structures, such as organelles, membranes, and cytoskeletal elements.
Biopsy electron microscopy is particularly useful for studying diseases and disorders at the cellular level. It can provide valuable information about cellular abnormalities, tissue architecture, and the ultrastructure of cells. This information can help in the diagnosis and understanding of various diseases, as well as in the development of new treatments and therapies.
