What Techniques are Used to Study Surface Sensitivity?
Histologists use several techniques to study surface sensitivity:
Tissue Staining: Stains like hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) are commonly used to highlight different components of tissues. Immunohistochemistry: This technique uses antibodies to detect specific proteins in tissue sections, allowing for the identification of sensory receptors. Electron Microscopy: Provides detailed images of cellular structures at a high resolution, enabling the study of sensory receptors at the ultrastructural level.
