Issues with Tissues

Course overview

Every tissue and organ has unique distinguishing features that allow you to differentiate between them. However the blue and pink colors of hematoxylin and eosin stained specimens are particularly problematic creating many histology "look-alikes". This workshop will focus on the key morphological features of the basic tissues and their subtypes. Hints on how to distinguish histology "look-alikes" will be included. Plane of section and resolution will also be discussed in interpreting sections.
