Histological Sample Preparation

All aspects of tissue histology from processing of formalin fixed tissue, paraffin embedding and sectioning to automated staining and automated coverslipping of stained slides can be facilitated. These slides can be converted to digital images and analysed either using the Aperio slide scanner or using light or electron microscopy.
