- Abstract
The scanning electron microscope is an exciting instrument which is easily adapted by the clinician-researcher to the study of tissues of otolaryngologic interest. The SEM is based on the television raster principle of scanning a surface with a thin beam of electrons. As a result of the interaction of the electron beam with the surface, a number of physical phenomena are elicited including the emission of secondary electrons. The latter are collected and used to produce a synchronous visual representation of the specimen's surface. The photomicrograph obtained more closely resembles a three-dimensional view than those obtained with light or phase microscopy. With recent refinements in the techniques of specimen preparation the spectrum of applications of the SEM continues to broaden.
