Histologicky

Histologicky is an adverb in Czech that means “histologically” or “from a histological point of view.” It is used to indicate that a finding, observation, or conclusion is based on microscopic examination of tissue samples rather than on clinical assessment, imaging, or other diagnostic methods.

The term derives from histologie, the scientific study of the microscopic structure of tissues. In Czech scientific and medical writing, histologicky accompanies statements that refer to observations made on prepared tissue sections, typically after fixation, embedding, sectioning, and staining. It helps distinguish tissue-based evidence from findings obtained by other means.

Histologicky relevant information is usually obtained through standard histological techniques such as light microscopy, with common staining methods like hematoxylin and eosin, as well as specialized stains or procedures including immunohistochemistry. Statements in this mode emphasize that the conclusion rests on cellular and tissue architecture visible under the microscope, rather than on gross examination or radiological imaging.

In usage, histologicky is often paired with nouns describing findings (for example, changes, lesions, or patterns) and with verbs indicating confirmation or characterization (for example, potvrzeno, zobrazeno, popsáno). It is part of a broader set of terms that distinguish modalities in medical and biological reporting, such as radiologicky or klinicky, providing clarity about the evidentiary basis of a statement.
