What Techniques Are Commonly Used in Biophysical Histology?
Several techniques are commonly employed in biophysical histology, including:
Fluorescence Microscopy: Uses fluorescent dyes to stain specific cellular components, allowing for detailed visualization under a microscope. Electron Microscopy: Provides high-resolution images of tissue samples by using a beam of electrons. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM): Measures the force between a sharp probe and the sample surface to create detailed topographical maps. Optical Tweezers: Uses laser beams to manipulate microscopic particles and measure forces within biological systems. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR): Utilizes magnetic fields to provide information about the molecular structure and dynamics of tissues.
