stained sections

Stained sections refer to thin slices of tissue that have been treated with special dyes to highlight different structures under a microscope. This process enhances contrast, making cells, fibers, and other components easier to identify and study. By using specific stains, pathologists can better understand tissue health or detect abnormalities, such as infections or cancer. This technique is essential for accurate diagnosis and research, allowing us to visualize details that are not visible to the naked eye.
