Study Notes
Haematoxylin and Eosin
- Staining technique used to enhance contrast in histology images
Lymph Node
- Histology images of lymph nodes can be examined at various magnifications
Histology vs Cytology
- Histology: study of whole human tissue
- Cytology: study of individual cells of the body
Tissues
