How do advanced imaging techniques contribute to histology?
Advanced imaging techniques such as confocal microscopy, multiphoton microscopy, and super-resolution microscopy have significantly enhanced the resolution and clarity of histological images. Confocal microscopy provides optical sectioning capabilities, allowing for the detailed visualization of thick tissue samples. Multiphoton microscopy minimizes phototoxicity and improves imaging depth, making it ideal for live tissue imaging. Super-resolution microscopy surpasses the diffraction limit of light, revealing structures at the nanometer scale.
