Histological examination technique

The technique of histological examination consists of several stages:

• Material intake
• Sample fixation which is done so that the organ tissue does not “die”. These may be various solutions or acids consisting of one or more components. “Bathing” tissue particles can occur for several hours, or maybe several days. This depends on both the retainer and the material sample.
• The tissue sample is washed in water then dehydrated. This is done for subsequent pouring with paraffin, because it does not dissolve in water.
• The taken material is poured with liquid paraffin, then a series of procedures are carried out to completely solidify it. Next, tissue surrounded by paraffin is formed into blocks.
• Ultra thin sections are made with a special knife which is called a microtome, blocks are cut into plates.
• Paraffin is removed from the plates and they are stained for a clear outline of the cells.
• They are washed and dehydrated once again. And after a long preliminary preparation, they are put on a microscope glass, lubricated with balsam. The structure of the tissue is studied and the doctor makes a conclusion.
