Manual monitoring in histology involves several critical steps:
Sample Preparation: Technicians manually check the quality of tissue samples, ensuring proper fixation and embedding. They assess the thickness and orientation of sections before microscopic examination. Staining Procedures: During staining, technicians visually inspect slides to ensure that stains have been applied correctly and evenly. This step is crucial for the differentiation of cellular components. Microscopic Examination: Finally, technicians manually inspect slides under a microscope, verifying the clarity and contrast of images to ensure accurate interpretation.
