Studying lung ultrastructure

  • Chapter
Methods in Pulmonary Research

Abstract

The study of ultrastructure comprises a wide field of techniques and instrumentations that are used to investigate the organisation of an organ, its tissues, and their cells at the subcellular level all the way down to molecules. The central theme is: How are these components organized in space, i.e. how do they look in three dimensions, and how are they arranged in 3-D with respect to one another?
