Histological techniques are essential for preparing and analyzing tissue samples:
Fixation: Preserves tissue samples to prevent degradation and maintain cellular structures. Sectioning: Involves cutting thin slices of tissue for examination under a microscope. Staining: Techniques such as Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) staining highlight different cellular components. Immunohistochemistry: Uses antibodies to detect specific proteins, providing detailed information on cellular function and disease markers.
