Tissue stabilization is achieved through various methods, including:
1. Fixation: The process of fixing tissues using chemicals like formaldehyde or glutaraldehyde to preserve their structure and prevent degradation. 2. Embedding: Embedding tissues in media such as paraffin wax to support and protect them during sectioning. 3. Cryopreservation: Freezing tissues rapidly using cryoprotectants to preserve their biochemical properties.
