How Can Superposition Affect Histological Analysis?
Superposition can lead to several artifacts that may complicate histological analysis:
Overlapping Layers: When multiple tissue layers overlap, it can create a false impression of increased cellularity or density. Stain Diffusion: Certain staining techniques might show uneven distribution due to superposition, leading to incorrect conclusions about the presence or absence of specific molecules. Misinterpretation of Structures: Superposition can make it challenging to distinguish between different cell types or tissue components, potentially leading to diagnostic errors.
