How Do Histologists Navigate Through Tissue Sections?
Histologists use a variety of tools and techniques to navigate through tissue sections:
Microscopy: Different types of microscopes, such as light microscopes, electron microscopes, and confocal microscopes, are used to view tissues at various magnifications. Staining Techniques: Stains like Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E), Periodic Acid-Schiff (PAS), and immunohistochemical stains help differentiate between different cellular components and structures. Digital Imaging: Advances in digital imaging and virtual microscopy allow histologists to view and analyze tissue sections on a computer screen, facilitating easier navigation and sharing of images.
