Scanning electron microscopy of experimentally induced pyelonephritis in the rat. 1981

J A Appleton, and J F Munnell, and E V De Buysscher

Scanning electron microscopy was used to observe epithelial and inflammatory changes in kidneys of rats during Corynebacterium renale-induced experimental ascending pyelonephritis. Bacteria were not observed adhering to pelvic epithelium, although there was evidence of cell sloughing. Bacteria was observed in the interstitium of the renal medulla. Bacteria, when present in the tubular lumen, were associated with discontinuities in cell membranes. Phagocytic cells appeared in the interstitium and phagocytosis was evident in the renal medulla.

D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.
