What Are the Histological Techniques Used on Laparoscopic Samples?
Once the tissue samples are collected, they undergo various histological techniques for analysis: - Fixation: Preserving the tissue structure using fixatives like formalin. - Embedding: Encasing the tissue in paraffin wax or other mediums. - Sectioning: Slicing the tissue into thin sections using a microtome. - Staining: Applying dyes such as Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) to highlight cellular structures. - Microscopy: Examining the stained sections under a microscope to identify abnormalities.
