How Do Histological Techniques Aid in Studying Worms?
Histological techniques are essential for studying the microscopic structures of worms. These techniques include: - Fixation: Preserving tissues using chemicals like formaldehyde. - Embedding: Encasing tissues in paraffin or resin for sectioning. - Sectioning: Cutting thin slices of tissue using a microtome. - Staining: Applying dyes like hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) to enhance contrast and visualize structures. - Microscopy: Observing stained sections under light or electron microscopes to study cellular and tissue organization.
