How to Prepare Tissue Samples for Radiographic Imaging?
The preparation of tissue samples for radiographic imaging involves several steps:
1. Fixation: Tissues are fixed using chemicals like formalin to preserve their structure. 2. Embedding: Fixed tissues are embedded in a medium like paraffin to support them during sectioning. 3. Sectioning: Thin sections of the tissue are cut using a microtome. 4. Staining: Sections are stained to enhance contrast and highlight specific structures, making them more visible in radiographic images.
