Immune electron microscopy is a type of EM used to diagnose some viral infections.^[1]

It is difficult.^[2]

IEM was developed for identifying transmissible gastroenteritis viruses, e.g. rotavirus in feces.^[3]

IEM is fast and sensitive. IEM relies on antibody-virus complexes.^[4]

Procedure

Was copy/pasted from this ref.^[5]

Application

This was a bit of a hodgepodge:

While IEM is good for recognizing hepatitis A antigen, it's challenging to scale up.

In 1973, Feinstone et al. used IEM to find hepatitis A virus in prisoners.^[6]

IEM can detect potato viruses.^[7]

IEM can detect plant viruses.^[8]
