A histological examination involves several steps:
Tissue Sampling: A small piece of tissue is obtained through biopsy or surgery. Fixation: The tissue is preserved using chemicals like formaldehyde to prevent decay. Embedding: The tissue is embedded in wax or resin to provide support for sectioning. Sectioning: Thin slices of the embedded tissue are cut using a microtome. Staining: The sections are stained with specific dyes to highlight different structures. Microscopy: The stained sections are examined under a microscope.
