A morphological appearance characteristic of invasive carcinomas in which there is focal or extensive transformation (metaplasia) of nests of malignant epithelial cells into cells which resemble neurosecretory cells morphologically, immunohistochemically, and by electron microscopy.
(Neuroendocrine Differentiation, NCI Thesaurus)
Electron microscopy involving an aqueous suspension of a sample which is applied in an extremely thin film to a grid, frozen in liquid nitrogen and maintained in this state by means of a special mount.
(Cryo-Electron Microscopy, NCI Thesaurus)
The Electron Microscopy Shared Resource provides the following services to Cancer Center researchers: counseling on the appropriate electron microscopy method for particular project, sample preparation and ultrastructural analysis by conventional electron microscopy, photographic and digital documentation of the samples, analysis and interpretation of the results, preparation of presentation-quality images.
(Electron Microscopy Shared Resource, NCI Thesaurus)
