Fluorescence and Confocal Microscopy for Tissue Analysis
Fluorescence microscopy uses fluorophores to label specific molecules in tissue, while confocal microscopy eliminates out-of-focus light for optical sectioning.
BiologyQuantitative Image Analysis and AI in Pathology
Quantitative image analysis extracts reproducible measurements from tissue images, while artificial intelligence enables automated detection and classification.
BiologyGlial and Neuronal Tumors
Glial and neuronal tumors are classified by histological features, IHC markers and molecular alterations for prognosis and targeted therapy.
BiologyIntroduction to Neurohistology
Neurohistology examines the microscopic structure of the central and peripheral nervous systems, requiring specialized handling and staining techniques.
BiologyMuscle and Nerve Biopsy Processing
Muscle and nerve biopsies require specialized processing including frozen sections, enzyme histochemistry and electron microscopy for neuromuscular diagnosis.
BiologyNeurodegenerative Disease Pathology
Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by progressive loss of neuronal populations and accumulation of abnormal protein aggregates in the brain.
BiologyStains for Myelin, Neurons and Glia
Special stains and immunohistochemistry visualize myelin, neurons and glial cells in nervous tissue for diagnosing demyelinating and degenerative diseases.
BiologyAmyloid, Pigment and Mineral Stains
Histochemical stains for amyloid, endogenous pigments and mineral deposits identify these substances in tissue sections for specific diagnosis.
BiologyCarbohydrate and Mucin Histochemistry
Carbohydrate and mucin stains detect glycogen, glycoproteins, proteoglycans and mucins in tissue sections for diagnostic histochemistry.
BiologyConnective Tissue and Muscle Stains
Connective tissue stains differentially color collagen, elastic fibers, muscle and fibrin to evaluate fibrosis, vascular disease and tissue injury.
BiologyH&E: Formulation, Chemistry and Troubleshooting
Hematoxylin and eosin is the standard tissue stain; its chemistry and formulation determine nuclear detail and cytoplasmic contrast.
BiologyStains for Microorganisms in Tissue
Histochemical stains for microorganisms enable visualization of bacteria, fungi, mycobacteria and parasites in formalin-fixed tissue sections.
