histological
Concerning tissue structure
Histological means relating to histology—the study of biological tissues at the microscopic level.
A histological examination involves preparing thin slices of tissue, staining them, and viewing them under a microscope to identify cell types, structures, or abnormalities.
The term appears frequently in medical and biological contexts: histological analysis, histological features of the tumor.
