Dissection typically involves several steps: 1. Preparation: The specimen is fixed using chemicals like formalin to preserve the tissue structure. 2. Sectioning: The specimen is sliced into thin sections using a microtome, making it easier to examine under a microscope. 3. Staining: Sections are stained with specific dyes to highlight different cellular components and structures. 4. Examination: The stained sections are then observed under a microscope to study the detailed histology of the tissues.
