What are common histological techniques used to study the tail?
Several histological techniques are commonly used to study the tail:
Histopathology: Examining tissue samples under a microscope to identify abnormalities. Immunohistochemistry: Using antibodies to detect specific proteins in tissue sections. Electron Microscopy: Providing detailed images of the cellular structure. In Situ Hybridization: Detecting specific nucleic acid sequences within tissue sections. Special Staining: Techniques like Masson's trichrome to differentiate between collagen and muscle fibers.
