Erythrocyte Function and Pathophysiology

Since the introduction of the electron microscope there have been a series of improvements in both the microscope and in the technics of preparing the tissue. These have resulted in its present accuracy and widespread use in the biomedical field. The electron microscope has increased resolving power attainable in sections from the previous limit of 2,000 Angstroms with the light microscope to the present limit of 20 Angstroms. In so doing, it has led to a description of many previously unseen structures, and thus to much new terminology in the field of anatomy. Many concepts on structure have had to be revised and many others have been upheld and extended by this new visual aid.
