Tissue processing involves a series of steps to prepare the tissue for microscopic examination. The steps include fixation, dehydration, clearing, embedding, sectioning, and staining. During fixation, tissues are immersed in a fixative solution to preserve their structure. Dehydration removes water from the tissue, which is then cleared using a solvent. The tissue is embedded in paraffin wax, sectioned into thin slices, and finally stained to highlight specific structures.
