After the tissue sample is collected, it undergoes a series of steps in the histology lab:
Fixation: The sample is preserved using formalin to prevent degradation. Embedding: The tissue is embedded in paraffin wax to facilitate cutting thin sections. Sectioning: Thin sections of the tissue are cut using a microtome. Staining: The sections are stained with dyes like hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) to highlight different cellular components. Microscopic Examination: The stained sections are examined under a microscope by a pathologist to make a diagnosis.
