Histology & Cytology Market

Introduction:

Histology, also known as microscopic anatomy, focuses on the study of tissues and their structure. It involves the preparation of tissue samples, which are then stained and examined under a microscope to identify and analyze the cells and their organization. Whereas, cytology is the study of individual cells and their characteristics. It involves the examination of cells obtained from various sources, such as bodily fluids (e.g., blood, urine, cerebrospinal fluid), fine-needle aspirations, or scrapings from body surfaces. The combination of histology and cytology allows pathologists and researchers to gain a comprehensive understanding of cell and tissue abnormalities, aiding in the diagnosis, treatment, and research of various diseases, including cancer, infectious diseases, and autoimmune disorders.
