What Techniques are Used in Histological Evaluation?
Several techniques are employed in histological evaluation, including:
Light Microscopy - Utilizes stained tissue sections to provide detailed images of tissue structure. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) - Uses antibodies to detect specific antigens in tissues, offering insights into protein expression and localization. Electron Microscopy - Provides high-resolution images to examine ultrastructural details of tissues. Special Stains - Techniques like PAS, Masson's Trichrome, and others highlight specific tissue components such as carbohydrates, collagen, and muscle fibers.
