How do I determine if ultra-thin section electron microscopy is the right type of service to answer the questions I have regarding my cell culture or tissue samples?
The main advantage ultra-thin section microscopy has over any other type of service is that cells and tissues can be examined at an ultrastructural level. This technique provides details of the interior of the cells and tissues, including organelle structure, morphology of macromolecules, such as virus particles, and does so without causing distortion of the cells or tissues.
There is no other method available to clearly and safely visualize ultrastructural details of biological samples.
