The technique immunoelectron microscopy uses antibodies to detect the intracellular location of structures of particular proteins at high resolution by electron microscopy. Tehnika immunoelectron microscopy koristi za otkrivanje protutijela na intracelularne strukture i lokacije određenih proteina u visokoj rezoluciji by elektronska mikroskopija.

Antibodies against the required antigen are labeled with gold particles and then applied to ultrathin sections, which are then examined in the transmission electron microscope. Protutijela protiv required antigen su čestice zlata s etiketom i onda primjeniti i na veoma tanki dijelovi, koji su zatim ispituje u prijenos elektronski mikroskop.

Antibodies labeled with gold particles of different diameters enable two or more proteins to be studied simultaneously. Protutijela, označenog kao čestice zlata s različitih promjera omogućiti dva ili više proteina da se istovremeno studirao.

The difficulty with this technique is in staining the ultrathin section adequately, as few molecules of antigen are present in each section. The poteškoća s ove tehnike je u staining je veoma tanki odjeljka na odgovarajući način, kao i nekoliko molekula za antigen su prisutni u svakom dijelu.
