Research Abstract |
A novel high resolution three-dimensional observation method was developed by an effective combination of light microscopic technique and scanning electron microscopic observation. This method was especially useful for investigation of tissues containing various kinds of cell, enabling the classification of anterior pituitary cells which has hitherto been difficult by using scanning electron microscopy. Furthermore, the three-dimensional ultrastructure in relation to its function of each anterior pituitary cell of the Golgi apparatus was precisely analyzed by high-resolution scanning electron microscopy.
