tissue samples
Tissue samples are small portions of biological tissue collected for analysis, often through biopsy or dissection.
They are typically preserved using methods like formalin fixation or cryosectioning to maintain cellular structure.
Preparation involves slicing the tissue into thin sections, mounting them on slides, and staining them with dyes or antibodies to highlight specific features, such as abnormal growths or antigen expression.
Techniques like fluorescence microscopy and enzyme histochemistry are used to study cellular morphology and molecular markers.
The pathologist examined tissue samples stained with hematoxylin and eosin to identify signs of adenoma.
