Histologists use a variety of techniques to compare new histological data with established data:
Microscopic Examination: By using different types of microscopy techniques (e.g., light microscopy, electron microscopy), histologists can compare tissue sections with reference images. Histochemical Staining: Techniques such as H&E staining, immunohistochemistry, and special stains highlight specific tissue components, allowing for detailed comparison. Digital Pathology: Advances in digital imaging and image analysis enable histologists to compare tissue samples using software tools that provide quantitative analysis.
