What Techniques are Used to Study Spatial Distribution?
Several techniques are employed to study spatial distribution in histology:
Immunohistochemistry (IHC): This technique uses antibodies to detect specific antigens in tissue sections, highlighting the distribution of proteins. In situ hybridization (ISH): ISH allows for the localization of specific nucleic acid sequences within tissue sections. Fluorescence microscopy: This method uses fluorescent dyes or proteins to visualize specific components within cells and tissues. Confocal microscopy: It provides high-resolution images and allows for the three-dimensional reconstruction of tissues.
