What Histological Techniques are Used Post-Procedure?
Once tissue samples are obtained, they undergo several histological techniques:
1. Fixation: Tissue samples are fixed in formalin to preserve cellular and structural integrity. 2. Embedding: Samples are embedded in paraffin wax to create a solid block that can be sectioned. 3. Sectioning: Thin slices of the tissue block are cut using a microtome. 4. Staining: Common stains like Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) are applied to differentiate cellular components. 5. Microscopy: Stained sections are examined under a microscope to identify pathological changes.
