Rationale
The TEM Scheme is designed to assess the quality of tissue preparation, section contrasting and image capture for diagnostic Transmission Electron Microscopy(TEM). All these stages need to be completed to the highest quality in order for the pathologist to have the maximum amount of accurate information to inform and complete a diagnosis for the patient.
A TEM Companion Scheme is available for separate subscription for Semi-Thin Section EQA.
Submission
4 digital images from 2 archival TEM analysed samples, of 2 distinct TEM biopsies (8 images in total) as indicated on the delivery letter. Participants can submit an alternative specimen type, if necessary, as to not exclude participation.
