The process of preparing microscopic images involves several steps. Initially, a tissue sample is collected through a biopsy or surgery. This sample is then fixed using chemicals like formaldehyde to preserve its structure. The fixed tissue is embedded in a medium such as paraffin wax, allowing it to be sliced into thin sections using a microtome. These thin sections are then stained with specific dyes to highlight different cellular components before being mounted on a slide for microscopic examination.
