Sample Preparation: Proper preparation of tissue samples is essential. This involves fixation, embedding, sectioning, and staining. Microscopic Examination: Using a microscope to examine the stained tissue sections. Identification of Structures: Identifying and distinguishing different cell types and tissue structures. Comparison with Normal Tissue: Comparing the observed structures with known normal tissue architecture. Diagnosis: Interpreting any abnormalities and making a diagnosis if necessary.
