Fixation: Preserving the tissue's structure and preventing degradation using fixatives like formalin. Embedding: Enclosing the tissue in a solid medium, typically paraffin, to allow thin sectioning. Sectioning: Cutting the embedded tissue into thin slices using a microtome. Staining: Applying the chosen stain to the tissue sections. Mounting: Placing the stained sections on a glass slide and covering them with a coverslip for microscopic examination.
