How are Tissues Prepared for Toxicological Examination?
Tissue preparation for toxicological examination involves several steps. Initially, tissues are fixed in a chemical solution, such as formalin, to preserve their structure. They are then embedded in paraffin, sectioned into thin slices using a microtome, and stained using specific dyes. Common stains include hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), which highlight cellular structures and pathological changes.
