Hard to believe. To prepare a sample for an electron microscope you need to freeze it to nitrogen temperatures or below. You can fix it using glutaraldehyde, but again, you need to cut it accurately immediately after the penetration. My bet is that either stabbed dead skin or some sort of graphics.

Also seems wildly overkill to use an electron microscope for this.

Yes! When I did electron microscopy, we had to cover the fix the samples and cover them with a very thin gold layer beforehand.

  Yeah, and it’s impossible to catch color!
