The Dissection/Histology category includes essential precision tools and instruments for tissue sectioning, anatomical analysis, histopathology, and microscopic examination. These tools are central to workflows in biomedical research, surgical pathology, anatomical education, and clinical diagnostics, where accurate tissue preparation is critical for meaningful observation and diagnosis.
Histological analysis involves preparing tissue specimens into ultra-thin sections for staining and microscopic examination. This requires the use of instruments such as cryostats, microtomes, and manual dissection tools, which work together to produce high-quality tissue slices from a variety of biological samples.
Cryostats are specialized instruments designed to slice frozen tissue samples into thin sections. They operate at sub-zero temperatures to preserve sample integrity and are widely used in frozen section pathology, neuropathology, and rapid intraoperative diagnosis. Cryostat sections are essential for detecting tumor margins, neural lesions, and muscle abnormalities, often within minutes of tissue collection.
Microtomes are used to cut extremely thin slices of fixed, embedded tissue, typically prepared using paraffin blocks. These sections are later stained for examination under light microscopy. Microtomes are indispensable for immunohistochemistry (IHC), histochemical staining, cancer grading, and research involving organ or tissue morphology.
Dissection tools such as scalpels, scissors, forceps, and probes are fundamental in both gross dissection and fine surgical preparation. They are used for tissue isolation, surgical specimen trimming, and animal model dissection, as well as in classroom settings for anatomical study.
