X-ray microanalysis: identification and quantification of elements in normal and pathologically altered cells.
It is apparent that advanced technology in X-ray microanalysis is rapidly becoming applicable to experimental cellular pathology. Additionally, it has already proven to be of significant value in diagnostic human pathology and clinical research, especially in the areas of environmental toxicology and forensic pathology. Like routine electron microscopy, X-ray microanalysis will soon be a necessary technology for any major medical center practicing 'state-of-the-art' medicine.
