Tissue classification is typically studied using various techniques:
- Microscopy: Histologists use light and electron microscopes to examine tissue samples at high magnification. - Staining: Special stains, such as Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E), are used to highlight different tissue components. - Immunohistochemistry: This technique uses antibodies to detect specific proteins in tissues, providing insights into their function and pathology.
