Tape storage involves several steps to ensure the optimal preservation of tissue samples:
Preparation: Tissue samples are first fixed and embedded in a medium like paraffin wax. Sectioning: Thin sections of the embedded tissue are cut using a microtome. Mounting: The sections are then mounted on adhesive tapes specially designed for histological use. Storage: Mounted tapes are stored in a controlled environment, often using slide cabinets or storage boxes.
