Histologists use various techniques to study cell shape changes, including:
Microscopy: Techniques like light microscopy, fluorescence microscopy, and electron microscopy provide detailed images of cell morphology. Immunohistochemistry: This technique uses antibodies to detect specific proteins involved in cell shape changes. Live-Cell Imaging: Allows scientists to observe cell shape changes in real-time. 3D Reconstruction: Advanced imaging techniques like confocal microscopy can create three-dimensional models of cells.
