Abstract
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was widely applied to the study of leukemic cells in the early 1970s [1, 2, 5] (the results of these studies are discussed in chapter 26). It soon became apparent that cell surface morphology can vary widely according to preparation procedures [4], and probably according to a variety of as yet unknown factors such as metabolic or environmental conditions. In fact, although cell surface features are typical enough to permit cell type identification in a very limited number of hematological malignancies [1], in the majority of cases SEM has proved to be of little routine use in the diagnosis of leukemia.
