Histological abnormalities are typically detected through microscopic examination of tissue samples. The process involves several steps:
Biopsy or tissue sampling: Collection of tissue from the body. Fixation: Preserving the tissue to prevent degradation. Embedding: Encasing the tissue in a solid medium, like paraffin wax. Sectioning: Cutting thin slices of the embedded tissue. Staining: Applying dyes to highlight different cellular components. Microscopic analysis: Examining stained tissue sections under a microscope.
