histopathological examination

What are the Steps Involved?

The process involves several steps:
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.
