What Histological Techniques are Used to Study Yeasts?
Various techniques are employed to study yeasts in histology. These include:
- Light Microscopy: Using specific stains like PAS and GMS to visualize yeast cells. - Fluorescence Microscopy: Employing fluorescent dyes that bind to yeast cell components. - Electron Microscopy: Providing detailed images of yeast ultrastructure. - Immunohistochemistry: Using antibodies to detect specific yeast antigens.
