GlossaryTissue Sectioning (Microtomy)

process of cutting thin tissue slices for microscopic examination

Tissue sectioning, also known as microtomy, is the process of cutting thin slices of biological tissue for examination under a microscope. This technique is crucial for studying the detailed structure of tissues, diagnosing diseases, and conducting research. The thin sections, typically only a few micrometers thick, allow for the visualization of cellular and subcellular components when stained and viewed under a microscope.
