What are the essential laboratory tools for histological examination?
Conducting histological examinations requires specific laboratory tools. Microscopes, particularly compound light microscopes and electron microscopes, are essential for viewing tissue samples at various magnifications. Microtomes are used to slice thin sections of tissues, while staining kits, such as H&E (Hematoxylin and Eosin), are critical for differentiating between different cellular components. Additionally, slide warmers and coverslippers aid in the preparation and preservation of slides.
