How are Lipid Markers Applied in Histological Techniques?
Lipid markers are applied using various histological techniques, including:
Cryosectioning: Tissues are rapidly frozen and sectioned to preserve lipid structures, which are then stained with lipid markers. Paraffin Embedding: Tissues are embedded in paraffin, sectioned, and then treated with lipid-soluble stains or fluorescent probes. Confocal Microscopy: Advanced imaging techniques, such as confocal microscopy, are used to visualize fluorescent lipid markers at high resolution.
