Several techniques are commonly used in histology to prepare and analyze tissue samples:
Fixation: Preserving tissue structure by using chemicals like formaldehyde. Embedding: Enclosing tissues in a solid medium like paraffin for sectioning. Sectioning: Cutting thin slices of tissue using a microtome for microscopic examination. Staining: Applying dyes such as Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) to highlight different tissue components.
