title: Electron microprobe analysis of particle deposited in lungs.
abstract: A technique that is based on the combined use of a conventional transmission electron microscope and a conventional electron probe x-ray microanalyzer permits an unambiguous identification of titanium dioxide (TiO2) particles in lung tissue and cells. Quite probably, many other inorganic particles can be identified with the use of this technique.
