The case is argued for wider use of electron microscopy as an aid to histological diagnosis in problem cases such as tumours of uncertain histogenesis. In practical terms, electron microscopy can produce results as "immediate" as many special stains in regular use. The cost of providing an effective service can be favourably compared with that of various other diagnostic aids commonly called upon in normal clinical practice. It is suggested that exploitation of this growth area of morphological pathology will enhance the attractions of the discipline of histopathology to talented potential recruits.
该案例主张更广泛地使用电子显微镜，以辅助对组织发生不确定的肿瘤等疑难病例进行组织学诊断。实际上，电子显微镜能产生与常规使用的许多特殊染色一样“即时”的结果。提供有效服务的成本与正常临床实践中常用的其他各种诊断辅助手段相比具有优势。有人认为，开发形态病理学这一增长领域将增强组织病理学学科对有才华的潜在从业者的吸引力。
