histology
n.
scientific study of animal and plant tissues (also histiology)
Histology
Histology (from the
Greek ) is the study of
tissue sectioned as a thin slice, using a
microtome. It can be described as microscopic
anatomy. The photographing of stained cells is called histography. Histology is an essential tool of
biology.
Histopathology, the microscopic study of diseased tissue, is an important tool of
anatomical pathology since accurate diagnosis of
cancer and other diseases usually requires histopathological examination of samples. The trained scientists who perform the preparation of histological sections are Histotechnicians, Histology Technicians (HT), Histology Technologists (HTL), Medical Scientists,
Medical Laboratory Technicians or
Biomedical scientists. Their field of study is called histotechnology.
