Fixation: The tissue sample is preserved in a fixative solution to prevent decay. Embedding: The fixed tissue is embedded in a solid medium like paraffin to make it easier to cut into thin slices. Sectioning: Thin slices of the tissue are cut using a microtome. Staining: The tissue sections are stained with dyes to highlight different cellular components. Microscopic Examination: A pathologist examines the stained tissue under a microscope to identify any abnormalities.
