The histological examination process involves several key steps:
Fixation: The tissue sample is preserved using chemicals like formalin to prevent decay and maintain its structure. Embedding: The fixed tissue is embedded in a solid medium, usually paraffin wax, to provide support for slicing. Sectioning: Thin sections of the embedded tissue are cut using a microtome and placed on glass slides. Staining: The tissue sections are stained with dyes such as Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) to highlight different structures and cell types. Microscopic Examination: The stained sections are examined under a microscope to identify any abnormalities.
