Digital image capture systems to replace traditional film cameras are now available for most electron microscopes. For a diagnostic electron microscope laboratory the test of this new technology is in its application to the examination of renal biopsy specimens.
A long-term comparison is made between the work procedures employed with conventional film photography versus digital image capture in routine renal biopsy examination.
Digital image capture has lead to a reduction in turnaround time and allows for more images to be collected per case, providing more diagnostic information. Ultrastructural measurement is made easier, accuracy of patient records is improved and electronic communication of results is more accessible. Significant operational cost savings are also possible.
A quicker and more comprehensive assessment of renal biopsy specimens is possible using digital image capture for ultrastructural examination.
现在大多数电子显微镜都有可替代传统胶片相机的数字图像采集系统。对于诊断性电子显微镜实验室而言，这项新技术的检验在于其在肾活检标本检查中的应用。
对常规肾活检检查中传统胶片摄影与数字图像采集所采用的工作程序进行长期比较。
数字图像采集缩短了周转时间，使每个病例能够采集更多图像，提供了更多诊断信息。超微结构测量变得更容易，患者记录的准确性得到提高，结果的电子通信也更便捷。还可能大幅节省运营成本。
使用数字图像采集进行超微结构检查能够对肾活检标本进行更快、更全面的评估。
