Electron Microscopy Rotation - 1 month

In the Electron Microscopy rotation, the resident spends one month working with the Senior EM Technologist. The resident is involved with operating both the scanning and the transmission electron microscope. There is one sign-out per week during which the scanning and the transmission electron microscope photos are reviewed and the resident dictates the reports. In addition, the resident will review the associated kidney biopsies. The resident will gain exposure to transplant cases, and interesting muscle and neurocases may also be reviewed during this rotation.
