Colorized digital transmission electron microscopic images for teaching pathology.
We describe how electron microscopic images can be selectively colorized to accentuate ultrastructural detail for teaching purposes. Images are either captured by a CCD camera attached to the electron microscope or are scanned into a computer as electron micrographs. The computer's digital images are then manipulated using image-editing and colorizing software to highlight specific ultrastructural details, and subsequently printed or converted into 35-mm slides to be used for teaching.
