Several histological techniques are employed in orthopedic research:
- Staining: Techniques such as Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) staining, Masson's Trichrome, and Safranin O staining help highlight different tissue components. - Immunohistochemistry: This technique uses antibodies to detect specific proteins, aiding in the identification of cellular markers and signaling pathways. - Microscopy: Light microscopy, electron microscopy, and confocal microscopy provide detailed images of tissue architecture and cellular structures.
