How Do Histologists Study the Cellular Environment?
Histologists use various techniques to study the cellular environment: Microscopy Techniques like light microscopy, electron microscopy, and fluorescence microscopy provide detailed images of cells and their surroundings.
Histochemical Staining Staining methods such as Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) and immunohistochemistry help in identifying specific components of the cellular environment.
In Situ Hybridization This technique allows for the localization of specific nucleic acid sequences within the tissue, helping to study gene expression in the context of the cellular environment.
