What Are the Key Components of a Histology Archive?
A histology archive typically includes a wide variety of components:
Tissue samples: These are the primary materials, often preserved in paraffin blocks or as frozen sections. Slides: Microscopic slides prepared from tissue samples, stained with various dyes to highlight different structures. Digital records: Comprehensive documentation of each sample, including patient information, diagnosis, and any relevant clinical history. Storage facilities: Environmentally controlled spaces to ensure the preservation of physical and digital samples.
