The process of preparing tissue for histological analysis begins with tissue fixation, typically in formalin, followed by processing into paraffin wax, embedding, and cutting thin sections that are affixed to glass slides. Hematoxylin and eosin is the standard stain used for tissue analysis. In addition, there is a long list of histochemical, immunofluorescent, and immunohistochemical stains that aid in differentiating tissue components and identifying certain pathological processes.
