What Techniques are Used in Non-Quantitative Histology?
Several techniques are employed in non-quantitative histology:
1. Histochemical Staining: Techniques like Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) staining are used to highlight different tissue components. 2. Immunohistochemistry (IHC): This method uses antibodies to detect specific antigens in tissues, allowing for the identification of particular proteins or markers. 3. Electron Microscopy: Provides detailed images of tissue ultrastructure, revealing cellular organelles and membrane structures. 4. In Situ Hybridization: Detects specific nucleic acid sequences within tissue sections, providing insights into gene expression.
