Scanning Electron Microscopy and Leukemia-Lymphoma Characterization

  • Chapter
Human Leukemias

Part of the book series: Developments in Oncology Series ((DION,volume 14))

Abstract

The use of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for cell morphological analysis aroused great interest among hematologists and immunologists, because it was claimed to provide a means of distinguishing between different categories of blood cells, including red cells, T- and B- lymphocytes and monocytes [7, 20, 21].
