What Does IEM Stand For?
IEM stands for Immunoelectron Microscopy
Immunoelectron Microscopy (IEM) is a powerful imaging technique that combines the principles of immunology and electron microscopy. It enables the visualization and localization of specific proteins or antigens within cellular structures at nanoscale resolution. By utilizing antibodies tagged with heavy metals, IEM allows researchers to study the ultrastructural organization of cells and tissues, providing critical insights into biological processes, disease mechanisms, and the distribution of molecules in various contexts. This technique is widely used in cell biology, pathology, and neuroscience for detailed analyses of cellular components.
