The tissue sectioning process involves several critical steps:
Fixation: Preserving the tissue from decay and maintaining its structure. Embedding: Enclosing the tissue in a supportive medium such as paraffin wax to facilitate slicing. Sectioning: Cutting the embedded tissue into thin slices using a microtome. Mounting: Placing the tissue sections on a glass slide for examination. Staining: Applying dyes to highlight specific cellular components.
