Several techniques are employed for enhanced detection in histology:
Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Uses antibodies to detect specific antigens in tissue sections, providing detailed information about protein expression and localization. Fluorescence Microscopy: Uses fluorescent dyes or tags to highlight specific structures within tissues, enabling high-resolution imaging. Digital Pathology: Involves the scanning and analysis of histological slides using digital imaging techniques, allowing for enhanced visualization and data analysis. Multiplex Staining: Allows for the simultaneous detection of multiple targets within a single tissue section, providing comprehensive insights into tissue composition. Confocal Microscopy: Provides high-resolution, three-dimensional images of tissues by using point illumination and spatial pinholes to eliminate out-of-focus light.
