What types of storage systems are commonly used in Histology?
There are several types of storage systems commonly used in histology, including:
- Cold Storage: Used for preserving tissue specimens that need to be kept at low temperatures to prevent degradation. - Slide Cabinets: Specialized cabinets designed to store microscope slides in an organized and space-efficient manner. - Paraffin Block Storage: Specific storage units for paraffin-embedded tissue blocks, ensuring they remain intact and uncontaminated. - Digital Storage Systems: Increasingly popular, these systems store scanned images of slides and associated data digitally, allowing for easy access and sharing.
