The Human Bulbo-Urethral Glands: A Transmission Electron Microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy Study

15. Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy

Study of Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) are widely used in material science, metallurgy sicence and life science researches. TEM is an imaging technique where a beam of electrons is focused onto a specimen causing an enlarged version to appear on a fluorescent screen or layer of photographic film. SEM is a technique of electron microscope to produce high re...

A scanning and transmission electron microscopy study of jaagsiekte lesions.

A scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) study was made of lesions from acute, experimentally induced cases of jaagsiekte. In the SEM study tumour cells were easily identified by the abundant microvilli on their peripheral surface. The SEM study gave further insight into the development of lesions and the spatial relationship of cells involved in jaagsiekt...

Scanning Electron Microscopy of Human

I t is now generally accepted that two distinct classes of lymphocytes are present in different species including man--thymus-derived (T) cells and bone marrow or bursalderived (B) cells (1, 2). Although similar in appearance these two cell types have been demonstrated to have widely different functions. They can be distinguished electrophoretically by their different mobility (3, 4), serologic...

Scanning transmission low-energy electron microscopy

We discuss an extension to the transmission mode of the cathode-lens-equipped scanning electron microscope, enabling operation down to the lowest energies of electrons. Penetration of electrons through free-standing ultrathin films is examined along the full energy scale, and the contribution of the secondary electrons (SEs), released near the bottom surface of the sample, is shown, enhancing t...
