The preparation of glass slides involves several steps to ensure that the tissue sample is adequately preserved and visible:
Fixation: The tissue is fixed using chemicals like formalin to preserve its structure. Embedding: The fixed tissue is embedded in a medium such as paraffin to provide support during sectioning. Sectioning: Thin slices of the embedded tissue are cut using a microtome. Mounting: The tissue sections are placed on glass slides. Staining: Slides are stained using specific dyes to highlight different cellular components.
