The preparation of a histology sample involves several steps:
Fixation: Tissues are preserved using fixatives like formalin to prevent degradation. Embedding: Fixed tissues are embedded in paraffin wax to provide support for sectioning. Sectioning: Thin sections of the embedded tissue are cut using a microtome. Staining: Sections are stained using various techniques to highlight different cellular components. Mounting: Stained sections are mounted on slides for microscopic examination.
