Several factors can influence the stability of histological samples:
Fixation: The choice of fixative (e.g., formalin, paraformaldehyde) and fixation time can significantly impact tissue preservation. Storage Conditions: Temperature, humidity, and exposure to light can affect the long-term stability of samples. Processing Methods: Dehydration, clearing, and embedding techniques can influence tissue morphology. Staining: The type of stain and staining protocols can affect the visibility and differentiation of cellular components.
