What do Histology Specialists/Technologists do?
Histology Specialists/Technologists prepare biological tissue samples for microscopic examination by pathologists to aid in diagnosing diseases, monitoring treatments, and supporting medical research.
Their work involves complex processes such as tissue processing, embedding specimens into wax blocks, sectioning them into thin slices, and staining them with dyes to highlight cellular details.
This meticulous work provides crucial insights into cell structure and helps identify abnormalities in diseases such as cancer and degenerative conditions.
What they do
Specimen Handling: Receiving, sorting, and logging tissue samples from surgeries, biopsies, and autopsies.
Tissue Processing: Using specialized equipment and chemicals to dehydrate, fix, and embed tissue samples.
Sectioning: Cutting fragile sections of the embedded tissue using a microtome for microscopic analysis.
Staining: Applying dyes and other chemicals to the tissue sections to make cellular structures visible and distinguishable.
Quality Control: Ensuring the quality and accuracy of the prepared slides and maintaining laboratory equipment.
Documentation: Keeping detailed records of tests, equipment maintenance, and patient information.
Collaboration: Working closely with pathologists to provide them with slides for diagnosis and research.
Environment
Histology specialists and technologists work in various settings, including Hospitals, Clinical diagnostic laboratories, Medical research facilities, and Surgical pathology areas.
