Several imaging techniques are employed in cancer imaging within histology:
Light Microscopy: Widely used for examining stained tissue sections, providing detailed images of cellular morphology. Fluorescence Microscopy: Uses fluorescent dyes to label specific cellular components, allowing for the visualization of specific proteins or molecules within cells. Confocal Microscopy: Provides high-resolution, three-dimensional images of tissues by using lasers to scan the specimen. Electron Microscopy: Offers extremely high-resolution images by using electrons instead of light, ideal for viewing ultrastructural details. Multiphoton Microscopy: Allows for deep tissue imaging using longer-wavelength light, reducing phototoxicity and improving cell viability.
