Histology involves the microscopic examination of tissues to study the architecture and organization of cells. The primary methods used to study mammalian cells in histology include:
- Light Microscopy: Uses visible light to observe stained tissue samples, providing detailed images of cell structure. - Electron Microscopy: Provides higher resolution images using electron beams, allowing for the observation of ultrastructural details. - Fluorescence Microscopy: Utilizes fluorescent dyes and proteins to visualize specific cellular components and processes.
