Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) continues to play an important role in diagnostic surgical pathology, particularly in such areas as kidney pathology and tumor diagnosis, among others. Diagnostic TEM is subject to unique time constraints, quality control regulations, and other problems not seen in other TEM applications. The diagnostic TEM laboratory must produce high-quality electron microscopy on small samples which frequently are suboptirnal in fixation and tissue quality due to the pathology involved and time factors associated with biopsy and surgery.
