Several techniques are pivotal in forensic histology:
Staining methods such as Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) staining are used to differentiate cellular components. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) helps in identifying specific proteins in tissues, providing information about the presence of particular cells or pathogens. Microscopy techniques, including light microscopy and electron microscopy, are used to observe tissue samples in fine detail. Histomorphometry involves the quantitative analysis of tissue structures, aiding in the assessment of cell density and tissue organization.
