What is Histology?

​

Histology is the study of the microscopic structure of tissues in plants and animals, focusing on how they are organized from whole organs to the molecular components of cells. It involves techniques such as tissue fixation, processing, sectioning, staining, immunohistochemistry, and in situ hybridization. These methods are designed to preserve tissue structure and cellular detail as closely as possible to its natural state, enabling detailed analysis and understanding.

What is Histopathology?

​

Histopathology is a specialized branch of histology that examines tissues affected by disease. It plays a crucial role in diagnosing conditions, understanding disease mechanisms, and supporting research into treatments and cures. Histopathologists study the structural and functional changes in diseased tissues to provide insights into pathological processes.
