Several advanced techniques are employed for in vivo histological studies:
Fluorescence Microscopy: Utilizes fluorescent dyes to label specific components within tissues, allowing for real-time observation of dynamic processes. Confocal Microscopy: Provides high-resolution images of tissues by focusing on a single plane and rejecting out-of-focus light. Multiphoton Microscopy: Enables deep tissue imaging with minimal photodamage, using longer wavelength light. Optical Coherence Tomography: A non-invasive imaging technique that provides cross-sectional images of tissues.
