Cytochemistry

Cytochemistry is a laboratory technique used to study cells by using special chemicals that reveal the presence of specific substances within them. These chemicals react with parts of the cell, producing colors or signals that can be observed under a microscope. This process helps scientists identify different cell types, understand cellular functions, and detect abnormalities such as diseases or cancers. Essentially, cytochemistry allows researchers and clinicians to "tag" and visualize particular components inside cells, providing valuable information about their structure and activity in a detailed yet accessible way.
