Several types of centrifuges are employed in histology, each serving specific purposes:
Microcentrifuges: Used for small sample volumes, typically in the range of 0.5 to 2.0 mL. Refrigerated Centrifuges: Maintain low temperatures to prevent damage to temperature-sensitive samples. Ultracentrifuges: Operate at extremely high speeds for separating very small particles like ribosomes and viruses.
