Histologists use various techniques to identify and study cell types, including:
Microscopy: Using light and electron microscopes, histologists can observe the detailed structure of cells. li> Staining: Specific dyes and stains, such as hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), are used to highlight different components of cells and tissues. Immunohistochemistry: This technique uses antibodies to detect specific proteins within cells, helping to identify cell types based on their molecular markers. Molecular Techniques: Techniques such as PCR and DNA sequencing can identify cell types based on genetic material.
