What Techniques are Used to Study Cellular Diversity?
Histologists employ various techniques to study cellular diversity, including:
Microscopy: Light and electron microscopes allow for the visualization of cellular structures and identification of different cell types. Histochemistry and Immunohistochemistry: These techniques use specific stains and antibodies to identify and visualize cellular components. Flow Cytometry: This technique sorts and analyzes cells based on their physical and chemical properties. Single-Cell RNA Sequencing: This advanced technique provides insights into gene expression at the single-cell level, revealing cellular heterogeneity.
