Dexterity is crucial in histology for several reasons: 1. Precision: Accurate tissue sectioning and staining require steady hands and fine motor skills to avoid damaging the samples. 2. Efficiency: Skilled histologists can perform tasks more quickly and efficiently, increasing throughput without compromising quality. 3. Reproducibility: Consistent results are essential for diagnostic purposes and research. Dexterity ensures that procedures are performed the same way each time.
