    Author: Aguilar-Ruiz J, Arrabal-Polo MA, Sierra M, Arrabal-Martin M.
    Journal: Ultrastruct Pathol; 2012 Dec; 36(6):367-76. PubMed ID: 23216234.
    Abstract:
    The authors review the mineralogical methods and techniques of analyzing calculi, stony concretions in the body. They discuss the main types of kidney stones (prostate, testicular, salivary, and bile) and the different diagnostic methods in mineralogy. By applying the techniques of optical microscopy and electron microscopy, they describe the different characteristics of human stones, based on extensive experience as evidenced by their numerous studies.
