Experimental data in histology is primarily collected through the preparation and examination of tissue samples. The process typically involves several steps:
Fixation: Preserving the tissue to prevent degradation. Embedding: Encasing the tissue in a solid medium for sectioning. Sectioning: Cutting the tissue into thin slices for microscopic examination. Staining: Applying dyes to enhance contrast and highlight specific structures. Microscopy: Observing the stained sections under a microscope.
