How is Plant Histology Studied?

Plant histology involves several steps: sample collection, fixation, embedding, sectioning, and staining. Samples are first collected and fixed to preserve their structure. The fixed samples are then embedded in a medium such as paraffin to make them easier to section. Thin sections of the embedded samples are cut using a microtome and mounted on slides. Finally, the sections are stained to highlight different cellular structures before being examined under a microscope.
