Histology employs various techniques to analyze tissue structure and integrity:
1. Light Microscopy: This is routinely used for examining tissue sections stained with specific dyes. It allows visualization of cell morphology and tissue architecture.
2. Electron Microscopy: For more detailed analysis, electron microscopy provides high-resolution images of tissue ultrastructure, revealing details at the molecular level.
3. Immunohistochemistry: This technique uses antibodies to detect specific proteins within tissues, helping to identify structural components and assess their integrity.
