Common errors in histology that can compromise accuracy include:
Artifacts: These are distortions or anomalies introduced during sample preparation, such as folds, tears, or air bubbles, which can obscure or mimic pathological changes. Misinterpretation: Incorrect interpretation of histological features, often due to lack of experience or knowledge, can lead to diagnostic errors. Inadequate Fixation: Insufficient fixation can result in tissue degradation, affecting the morphology and staining properties of the sample. Improper Staining: Inconsistent or incorrect staining can lead to poor visualization of tissue components, making accurate analysis difficult. Sectioning Errors: Thick, uneven, or damaged sections can obscure important histological details and lead to inaccurate interpretations.
