Also known as: EM.
An electron microscope is a powerful, much higher magnification (two million times!) type of microscope that uses electrons to create an image of a variety of cells, biopsy material, tissues (like kidney tissue) or other biological specimens.
Electron microscopy services are performed in a specialised laboratory for complete ultrastructural evaluation of samples collected from the body via other means, such as a biopsy, or blood samples. Results are sent to a pediatric pathologist for interpretation.
No special preparation by the patient is needed for electron microscopy other than the collection of tissue to be examined.
There are no risk factors related to electron microscopy.
