Biological specimen preparation

Biological specimen preparation involves collecting, preserving, and processing samples like tissues or fluids so they can be examined under a microscope or tested. This process may include fixing the specimen to prevent decomposition, embedding it in a supportive medium, sectioning it into thin slices, and staining to highlight specific structures. Proper preparation ensures the sample remains intact and provides clear, detailed views, allowing scientists or medical professionals to study cells, identify diseases, or conduct research with accurate and reliable results.
