There are several types of histological slides, each tailored to specific needs:
Frozen Sections: These are rapidly prepared slides used for quick diagnosis during surgeries. Paraffin Sections: These are the most common type, providing high-quality and durable slides. Smears: These are used for examining individual cells, such as in Pap smears or blood smears. Whole Mounts: Entire small organisms or large tissue sections are mounted for examination.
