Electron microscopy of disorders of skeletal muscle
Heffner RR Jr
Some of the common pathologic changes in the muscle fiber as viewed with the electron microscope are considered. These include myofilament and Z band abnormalities, alterations of the sarcotubular system, mitochondrial aberrations and glycogen accumulations. Correlations with light microscopic findings are mentioned when pertinent. The diagnostic significance of the various ultrastructural changes is discussed.
