Histological Techniques

Histological techniques are methods used to prepare and study tissues under a microscope. The process begins with fixing the tissue to preserve its structure, followed by embedding it in a solid medium like paraffin. Next, thin slices of the tissue are cut and placed on slides. Staining is then applied to highlight specific structures or cells, making them easier to see. Finally, the slides are examined under a microscope to analyze the tissue's characteristics, helping in the diagnosis of diseases or understanding biological processes. This technique is essential in fields like medicine, biology, and pathology.
