How Do Histopathological Techniques Aid in the Study of Porphyrins?
Histopathological techniques such as special staining and fluorescence microscopy play an important role in the study of porphyrins. These techniques can help visualize porphyrin deposits in tissue sections, providing a clearer picture of the tissue changes associated with porphyrias. Additionally, electron microscopy can be used to observe ultrastructural changes in cells affected by porphyrin accumulation.
