Histologists use various techniques to study cellular organization:
Microscopy: Light and electron microscopes are used to examine cell structures in detail. Staining: Techniques like Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) staining help differentiate between different cell types and structures. Immunohistochemistry: This method uses antibodies to detect specific proteins within cells, providing insights into cell function and pathology. In Situ Hybridization: This technique detects specific nucleic acid sequences within tissues, allowing for the study of gene expression.
