Several techniques are employed in histopathology to prepare and examine tissue samples. These include:
Fixation: Preserving tissues using chemicals like formalin to prevent degradation. Embedding: Enclosing tissues in paraffin wax to provide support during sectioning. Sectioning: Cutting thin slices of tissue using a microtome. Staining: Applying dyes like Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) to highlight cellular structures. Microscopy: Examining stained tissue sections under a microscope.
