How does sectioning thickness affect histological analysis?
The thickness of tissue sections is another variable that can impact the quality of histological analysis. Typically, sections range from 3 to 10 micrometers in thickness. Thicker sections provide more context but can obscure fine details, while thinner sections offer greater detail but may lack structural context. Adjusting the sectioning thickness based on the tissue type and the specific analysis required is crucial for optimal results.
