What Are Some Common Techniques Used in Histology to Study Stressors?
Various histological techniques are employed to study the effects of biological stressors. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining is commonly used to examine general tissue morphology. Special stains like Masson's trichrome can highlight fibrosis, while TUNEL assay can detect apoptotic cells. Advanced techniques such as confocal microscopy and electron microscopy provide high-resolution images that help in understanding the ultrastructural changes induced by stressors.
