Electron Microscopy

Electron Microscopy is used by the department for diagnostic work as well as for ultrastructural studies of tissues, cells and their components in some areas of research. Biopsy samples of kidneys, muscle, skin, nerve, tumours and various other tissues are received, processed and prepared for Electron Microscopy within the department. Viewing of the prepared specimens are done in the Electron Microscopy Unit of the Medical Faculty.
