detailed architecture of cells seen with electron microscopy

Ultrastructure refers to the detailed structure of a biological specimen, such as cells and tissues, that is observed at high magnification using an electron microscope. This level of detail reveals the intricate architecture of cellular components, such as organelles, membranes, and other subcellular structures, which are not visible with standard light microscopy.
