Precise thickness control is vital in histology for several reasons:
Resolution: The thickness of the tissue section affects the resolution under the microscope. Too thick a section can obscure fine details, whereas too thin a section may not capture enough structural information. Staining: Uniform section thickness ensures consistent staining, which is critical for identifying specific cell types and structures. Reproducibility: Consistent section thickness is essential for reproducible results, particularly in research and diagnostic applications.
