How Is Technology Enhancing Histological Techniques?
Technology is at the forefront of enhancing histological techniques. Multiphoton microscopy and light sheet fluorescence microscopy are examples of advanced imaging technologies that allow for deeper tissue penetration and reduced photodamage, providing clearer and more detailed images of tissue samples.
Moreover, next-generation sequencing (NGS) is being integrated with histological studies to provide a molecular context to tissue analysis. This combination is particularly powerful in cancer research, where understanding the genetic underpinnings of tumors can inform treatment strategies.
