What Histological Techniques Are Used to Study Diffusion Capacity?
Several histological techniques are employed to study diffusion capacity:
Light Microscopy: Allows for the examination of tissue structure and identification of abnormalities. Electron Microscopy: Provides detailed images of the alveolar-capillary barrier at the ultrastructural level. Immunohistochemistry: Uses antibodies to identify specific proteins that may be involved in diseases affecting diffusion.
