title: Ultrastructural aspects of striated muscle fibers in health and disease.
abstract: The application of electron microscopy to skeletal muscle is pertinent to 1. cytological analysis of normal muscle fibers; 2. cytopathology of muscle fibers; 3. systematic ultrastructural analysis of classic muscle diseases; 4. ultrastructure of muscle fiber inclusions; 5. neuromuscular conditions classified by electron microscopy; 6. diagnosis of individual muscle biopsies.
