[[Immunofluorescence]] shows [[IgG]] antibodies on the neuromuscular junction. (Note that it is not the antibody which causes myasthenia gravis that fluoresces, but rather a [[secondary antibody]] directed against it.) Muscle electron microscopy shows receptor infolding and loss of the tips of the folds, together with widening of the [[Chemical synapse|synaptic]] clefts. Both these techniques are currently used for research rather than diagnostically.
* There are no other imaging findings associated with Myasthenia gravis.
