What Role Did Technology Play in Histology's Evolution?
Advances in technology have continually propelled histology forward. The advent of electron microscopy in the mid-20th century allowed for unprecedented resolution, revealing the ultra-structure of cells and tissues. More recently, innovations such as confocal microscopy and multiphoton microscopy have enabled three-dimensional imaging of tissues, providing deeper insights into their organization and function. Additionally, digital pathology and image analysis software have revolutionized data interpretation and sharing.
