How is Pathological Histology Performed?

Pathological histology involves several steps:
Biopsy: A sample of tissue is removed from the patient.
Fixation: The tissue is preserved using chemicals like formalin to prevent decay.
Embedding: The tissue is embedded in a solid medium, usually paraffin wax, to allow for thin slicing.
Sectioning: The tissue is sliced into very thin sections using a microtome.
Staining: Various stains, such as Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E), are applied to highlight different cellular components.
Microscopic Examination: The stained tissue sections are examined under a microscope to identify pathological changes.
