The process of histological staining typically involves the following steps:
1. Fixation: Preserving tissues to prevent decay and maintain structure. 2. Embedding: Enclosing tissues in a medium like paraffin to support cutting thin sections. 3. Sectioning: Cutting thin slices of the embedded tissue using a microtome. 4. Staining: Applying dyes to the tissue sections. 5. Mounting: Placing stained sections on slides and covering with a cover slip.
