The presence of mercury pigment can pose several issues in histological analysis:
- Obscuration of Cellular Details: The dark granules can mask important cellular structures, making it difficult to assess the tissue morphology accurately. - False Positives: Mercury pigments can sometimes be mistaken for pathological features, leading to potential misdiagnosis. - Interference with Staining: The pigments can interfere with subsequent staining procedures, affecting the quality and reliability of the histological examination.
