A histological examination involves several steps:
Tissue Collection: Samples are collected through biopsies, surgeries, or autopsies. Fixation: Tissues are preserved using chemical agents to prevent degradation. Embedding: Fixed tissues are embedded in a solid medium like paraffin wax for sectioning. Sectioning: Thin slices of the tissue are cut using a microtome. Staining: Sections are stained with dyes to highlight different cellular components. Microscopic Examination: Stained sections are examined under a microscope by a pathologist.
