The Francis Crick Institute employs a range of cutting-edge histological methods, including:
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC) for detecting specific proteins within tissues. - In Situ Hybridization (ISH) for localizing specific nucleic acid targets within tissue sections. - Confocal Microscopy for obtaining high-resolution images of tissues. - Electron Microscopy (EM) for ultra-structural analysis of cells and tissues.
