Analyzing morphological patterns involves several steps: 1. Sample Preparation The tissue sample must be properly prepared through fixation, embedding, sectioning, and staining to preserve and highlight cellular structures.
2. Microscopy Various types of microscopes, including light microscopes, electron microscopes, and confocal microscopes, are used to examine the samples at different magnifications and resolutions.
3. Image Analysis Advanced image analysis software can quantify and analyze morphological features, providing objective data on cell size, shape, and arrangement.
