Glossary horizontal sectioning

technique cutting tissue samples parallel to surface for examination

Horizontal sectioning refers to a technique used in histology and dermatology where tissue samples, such as skin or hair follicles, are cut parallel to the surface. This method allows for a detailed examination of the structures within the tissue, such as hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and other skin components, providing a comprehensive view of their arrangement and condition. It is particularly useful in diagnosing conditions like alopecia, as it helps in assessing the density and health of hair follicles.
