Abstract

Electron microscopy can be a valuable aid to light microscopy in the interpretation of fine needle aspiration biopsies of tumors, but considerable care in procuring and processing the specimen is necessary to recover the tumor cells and avoid altering their fine structure. Fixation followed by filtration through a cloth screen is recommended. Experience with this technique is briefly reviewed.
