In histology, tissue samples must be prepared and handled with meticulous care to ensure the integrity of the specimen. Face down positioning can affect tissue samples in the following ways:
Tissue Flattening: When samples are positioned face down, they tend to flatten out, which can make slicing and examination more straightforward. Minimized Air Bubbles: Air bubbles, which can interfere with microscopic analysis, are less likely to form in face down positioning. Enhanced Adhesion: Tissues adhere better to slides, reducing the risk of detachment during processing.
