What Methods are Used in Histological Studies of Ecotoxicology?
Several methods are employed in histological studies to assess the impact of toxic substances:
Staining Techniques: Stains like hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) are used to highlight different structures within the tissues. Immunohistochemistry: This technique uses antibodies to detect specific proteins that may be altered due to toxic exposure. Microscopy: Light, electron, and confocal microscopy provide detailed images of tissue architecture and cellular components.
