A well-functioning histology team integrates various roles, each contributing unique expertise:
1. Pathologists: These medical doctors specialize in diagnosing diseases by examining tissue samples. They interpret the findings from stained tissue sections and provide critical insights. 2. Histotechnologists: They are responsible for the preparation of tissue samples, including fixation, embedding, sectioning, and staining. Their precision ensures high-quality slides for examination. 3. Laboratory Technicians: They assist in routine tasks such as labeling, cataloging samples, and maintaining laboratory equipment. 4. Researchers: Often involved in academic or medical research, they collaborate to advance understanding of diseases and develop new diagnostic techniques.
