Histological analysis involves several steps. First, tissue samples are collected and preserved using fixatives like formalin. The samples are then embedded in paraffin, sectioned into thin slices using a microtome, and stained with dyes such as hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). These steps make the tissue structures visible under a microscope. Special stains and immunohistochemistry can also be used to highlight specific cellular components or proteins.
