Electron microscopic x-ray microanalysis in pathology: current status.
Electron microscopic X-ray microprobe analysis is very suited to pathological investigations. It may lead to a better understanding of the relationship between structure and function in disease processes. It may also help to detect localized abnormalities before the appearance of morphological changes. This methodology may thus contribute to earlier diagnoses and detection of the carrier state, and may aid in the study of reactions to injury and therapy.
