title: [The use of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and microanalysis for the detection of crystalline or amorphous particles in the pulmonary parenchyma].
abstract: The suitability of scanning electron microscopy with elemental analysis for silica detection in lung is discussed for autopsy specimens from exposed to silica workers. Control specimens are also carried out, with photographic and methodological documentation for main advantage of this technique pointing out.
