Several methods are employed in histological specimen collection, including:
Biopsy: Removal of tissue from a living organism using a needle, scalpel, or other surgical instruments. Autopsy: Collection of tissues from deceased organisms during a post-mortem examination. Surgical Resection: Removal of a larger section of tissue during surgery for both therapeutic and diagnostic purposes. Fine Needle Aspiration: Use of a thin needle to extract cells or fluid from a mass or lump.
