Zellschnitten
Zellschnitten, or cell sections, are thin slices of biological material prepared for microscopic analysis. They are typically obtained from fixed tissues or cultured cells and mounted on glass slides for staining and examination. The term is commonly used in histology and pathology to describe the prepared specimens that reveal cellular and tissue structure under a light or electron microscope.
Preparation generally involves fixation to preserve morphology, followed by dehydration, clearing, and embedding in a medium
Applications of Zellschnitten include diagnostic pathology, where tissue sections aid in identifying disease and assessing margins
