Low-magnification electron micrography of leproma in human skin based on semithin and ultrathin sectioning.
Low-magnification electron micrography of leprosy lesions is described. The various cell types in the lesions, the relationships to leprosy bacilli and the distribution of bacilli in the lesions of lepromatous leprosy, are neatly demonstrated in the low-magnified pictures.
