What Factors Affect the Choice of Section Thickness?
Several factors affect the choice of section thickness:
- Tissue type: Different tissues have varying densities and structures, necessitating different section thicknesses. - Staining technique: Some stains penetrate tissues more effectively at specific thicknesses. - Microscopy type: Different types of _microscopy_, such as light microscopy or electron microscopy, require different section thicknesses for optimal imaging.
