What Techniques are Used to Study Cellular Morphology?
Several histological techniques are employed to study cellular morphology:
Light Microscopy: Utilizing stains like Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E), light microscopy allows visualization of cell architecture and tissue organization. Electron Microscopy: Provides high-resolution images to study ultrastructural details of cells, such as organelles and membranes. Immunohistochemistry: Uses antibodies to detect specific proteins within cells, aiding in identifying cell types and understanding their function. Fluorescence Microscopy: Employs fluorescent dyes to label and visualize specific cell components or proteins, enhancing the study of dynamic cellular processes.
