What are Common Techniques Used in Bone Histology?
Several techniques are employed to study bone histology:
Histological staining: Techniques like Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) staining, Masson's trichrome, and Von Kossa staining help visualize different components of bone tissue. Microscopy: Light microscopy and electron microscopy provide detailed images of bone tissue at different magnifications. Micro-CT scanning: This technique allows for three-dimensional visualization of bone architecture. Immunohistochemistry: Used to detect specific proteins and cellular markers within bone tissue.
