An attempt at comparison of the morphology of normal and RSV--transformed cells in a scanning microscope.
The electronic scanning microscope (SEM) was first used to analyze biological material in 1965 (Hollenberg M. et al. The Journal of Histochem. and Cytochem. 21, 109-130, 1973). It has since been possible to collect specific data on cell morphology and the changes in cell surface and structure caused by external factors, such as oncogenic viruses.
