The preparation of a histological sample involves several steps:
Fixation: The tissue is preserved using chemicals like formalin to prevent decay. Embedding: The fixed tissue is embedded in paraffin wax to provide support for sectioning. Sectioning: Thin slices of the embedded tissue are cut using a microtome. Staining: The sections are stained with dyes like Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) to differentiate cellular components.
