What Histological Techniques are Used to Study Cortical Granules?
Several histological techniques can be employed to study cortical granules: - Light Microscopy: Special staining methods can highlight cortical granules, making them visible under a light microscope. - Electron Microscopy: Provides detailed images at the ultrastructural level, allowing for the observation of granule morphology and distribution. - Immunohistochemistry: Uses antibodies to detect specific proteins within the granules, giving insight into their composition and function.
