Several techniques are employed to study adherent cells in histology:
1. Immunohistochemistry (IHC): This technique uses antibodies to detect specific antigens in adherent cells, allowing for the visualization of cell types and structures. 2. Fluorescence Microscopy: Fluorescent dyes or proteins are used to label adherent cells, providing detailed images of cellular structures and processes. 3. Confocal Microscopy: This advanced imaging technique provides high-resolution, three-dimensional images of adherent cells, allowing for precise localization of cellular components. 4. Electron Microscopy: This method offers ultrastructural details of adherent cells, revealing fine cellular and subcellular structures.
