What are the Steps Involved in Microscopic Evaluation?
Microscopic evaluation typically involves several key steps:
Fixation: Preserving the tissue sample to prevent decay and maintain structural integrity. Embedding: Encasing the tissue in a solid medium like paraffin wax to facilitate sectioning. Sectioning: Cutting thin slices of the embedded tissue using a microtome. Staining: Applying dyes to highlight specific cellular components and structures. Examination: Analyzing the stained tissue sections under a microscope.
