The synovium in two cases of ochronosis was studied by scanning electron microscopy and light microscopy. Several features not yet described were seen by scanning electron microscopic examination and correlated with the light microscopic findings. This is the first report in the English language literature comparing scanning electron microscopic findings with the light microscopic findings in ochronosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
