Diagnostic Pathology Analytical tools in histology are crucial for diagnostic pathology as they help in identifying and classifying diseases. For example, H&E staining is routinely used to diagnose cancers, while IHC can detect specific types of cancer cells based on the presence of certain proteins.
Research In research, these tools are employed to explore the normal and pathological processes in tissues. Advanced imaging techniques like confocal and fluorescence microscopy are used to study cellular mechanisms in detail, providing insights into disease progression and potential therapeutic targets.
