Histology employs various tools and techniques to prepare and analyze tissues:
Microscopy: Different types of microscopes, including light microscopes and electron microscopes, are used to examine tissues at different magnifications. Staining: Techniques like Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) staining help differentiate between different tissue types and cellular components. Sectioning: Tissues are sliced into thin sections using a microtome to be placed on slides for microscopic examination.
