What are the Types of Microscopy Used in Histology?
Several microscopy techniques are employed to study tissues at different levels of resolution:
Light Microscopy: The most common method, using visible light to observe stained tissue sections. Fluorescence Microscopy: Uses fluorescent dyes or proteins to label specific cellular components, providing high-contrast images. Electron Microscopy: Offers ultra-high resolution by using electron beams, allowing visualization of cell organelles and structures at the nanometer scale.
