Microscopy & Histology

(65 products)

Microscopy and histology are crucial disciplines in biological and medical research, providing detailed insights into the structure and function of cells and tissues. Microscopy involves the use of microscopes to visualize structures that are too small to be seen with the naked eye, encompassing techniques ranging from light and electron microscopy to fluorescence and confocal microscopy. This allows for the observation of live cells, tissues, and microorganisms in great detail.

Histology complements microscopy by focusing on the study of the anatomy of cells and tissues at the microscopic level. It involves the preparation, staining, and examination of tissue sections to discern pathological changes or understand normal biological processes. Techniques such as tissue fixation, sectioning, and staining are fundamental to preserving and highlighting structural details.
