What are the Common Types of Probes Used in Histology?
Several types of probes are commonly used in histology, including:
1. Fluorescent Probes: Probes labeled with fluorescent dyes that emit light when excited by specific wavelengths. 2. Enzyme-Linked Probes: Probes labeled with enzymes that catalyze colorimetric or chemiluminescent reactions. 3. Radioactive Probes: Probes labeled with radioactive isotopes for autoradiography. 4. Biotinylated Probes: Probes labeled with biotin, which can be detected using _streptavidin_-conjugated markers.
