Overview
The Histology Module provides access to technical training, technical support, and equipment for researchers in the visual sciences. The module provides multidimensional support in histology that cannot be duplicated in any one laboratory. The Histology Module has become a full service research based area, often beginning with raw unprocessed tissue, which is dissected, fixed and finally sectioned to achieve the proper orientations and thicknesses needed for particular applications. The area is fully equipped for paraffin tissue processing, embedding and sectioning, cryosectioning, and immunohistochemistry. Although focusing mostly on ocular tissue, the module has the ability to process a wide variety of tissues from numerous organs and species.
