What Techniques are Used to Visualize Biological Activity?
Several techniques are employed to study biological activity, including:
Histochemistry: Uses chemical reactions to identify specific tissue components. Immunohistochemistry: Utilizes antibodies to detect specific antigens. In situ hybridization: Detects specific nucleic acid sequences within tissues. Fluorescence microscopy: Visualizes fluorescently labeled molecules. Electron microscopy: Provides detailed images of cellular structures.
