histopathological analysis

How is Histopathological Analysis Conducted?

The process of histopathological analysis involves several steps:
1. Sample Collection: Tissue samples are collected from subjects exposed to the toxic agent.
2. Fixation: The tissue is preserved using fixatives to prevent degradation.
3. Embedding: The fixed tissue is embedded in a medium, usually paraffin, to provide support during sectioning.
4. Sectioning: Thin slices of the tissue are cut using a microtome.
5. Staining: Sections are stained using dyes to highlight different cellular components.
6. Microscopic Examination: The stained sections are examined under a microscope to identify pathological changes.
