Scanning electron microscopes, which have energy dispersive spectroscopy (x-ray microanalysis) capability, can provide accurate identification of the composition of inorganic deposits in tissue. We report a case of florid argyria in which the same deparaffinized 4-micron sections were sequentially examined by light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, backscattered electron imaging, and x-ray microanalysis to confirm the clinical impression of argyria. We recommend the use of x-ray microanalysis of paraffin-embedded tissue as a simple, rapid and inexpensive means of precise identification of inorganic deposits of heavy elements in tissue sections.
具有能量色散光谱(X射线微分析)功能的扫描电子显微镜能够准确鉴定组织中无机沉积物的成分。我们报告了一例重度银沉着病病例,对同一经脱蜡处理的4微米切片依次进行光学显微镜检查、扫描电子显微镜检查、背散射电子成像和X射线微分析,以证实银沉着病的临床诊断。我们建议将石蜡包埋组织的X射线微分析作为一种简单、快速且经济的方法,用于精确鉴定组织切片中重金属元素的无机沉积物。
