What Techniques are Used to Assess Tissue Shrinkage?
Several techniques can be employed to assess tissue shrinkage:
1. Microscopic Examination: Comparing tissue specimens before and after processing using microscopy can help assess shrinkage. 2. Morphometric Analysis: Quantitative techniques can measure changes in tissue dimensions to evaluate shrinkage. 3. Image Analysis: Software techniques can be used to compare images of tissues before and after processing to quantify shrinkage.
