The Role Of Electron Microscopy In The Diagnosis Of Disease

Abstract: 5 pages in length. The role of electron microscopy in the diagnosis if disease has been defined as potentially lifesaving and a significant advancement in the technological advancement of molecular biology. Standard methods of diagnosing viral disease has typically employed the use of conventional diagnostic techniques such as serology and virus isolation, which require a wait time that may impair the patient's ability to medicate before the problem becomes worse. With a turnaround time of two hours to two days after specimen collection, electron microscopy has the potential for forever altering the method by which people are diagnosed with viral diseases. Early detection of viral particles is the secret weapon afforded an electron microscopy, a process that provides for organism detection long before any other standard testing method can do so. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
