What Histological Techniques are Used to Study Functional Impairment?
Several histological techniques are essential for studying functional impairment:
Light Microscopy: Basic technique for examining tissue architecture and cellular details. Electron Microscopy: Provides high-resolution images of cellular and subcellular structures. Special Staining: Techniques like PAS, Masson's Trichrome, and others highlight specific tissue components. Immunohistochemistry: Detects specific proteins, helping to identify functional changes at the molecular level.
