What Happens to the Biopsied Tissue in Histology?

Once the tissue sample is collected, it is sent to a histology laboratory for processing. The tissue is first fixed in a preservative solution to prevent decay. It is then embedded in a paraffin block, sliced into thin sections, and placed on glass slides. These slides are stained with special dyes that highlight different cellular components, making it easier for pathologists to examine the tissue under a microscope.
