Testing in histology involves a series of techniques and processes to prepare, stain, and examine tissue samples. The primary steps include:
Fixation: Preserving tissue morphology and preventing degradation. Embedding: Embedding tissues in paraffin or resin to facilitate sectioning. Sectioning: Cutting thin tissue slices using microtomes. Staining: Applying dyes to highlight different tissue components. Microscopy: Observing and analyzing stained sections under a microscope.
