This paper reviews the contribution of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to our understanding of platelet physiology and pathology. Observations of platelet shape changes which accompany activation and the ability to visualize and analyze platelet aggregation and adhesion in three dimensions make this experimental medium an important tool in the evaluation of healthy and diseased platelets. While SEM adds a valuable third dimension to the study of morphology and ultrastructure, its greatest contribution is realized when studies are correlated directly with light and/or transmission electron microscopic observations and with studies of functional capacity.
本文综述了扫描电子显微镜（SEM）在我们对血小板生理和病理理解方面的贡献。对伴随激活出现的血小板形状变化的观察，以及在三维空间中可视化和分析血小板聚集与黏附的能力，使这种实验手段成为评估健康和患病血小板的重要工具。虽然扫描电子显微镜为形态学和超微结构研究增添了宝贵的三维视角，但只有当研究与光学和/或透射电子显微镜观察以及功能能力研究直接相关时，其最大贡献才能得以实现。
