The small size of the cells and matrix components makes histology necessarily a field in which microscopy and molecular methods dominate. Stop and Think: What types of microscopy might be useful to study tissues? What types of tissue preparations might be required to get samples into these microscopy instruments?

Solution

The plant cells and tissues are very small in nature and can be visualized by the method of microscopy only. Most commonly used microscopic methods are light microscopy and electron microscopy. In both methods there will be a preparation procedures for the tissues or cells which includes staining.

There are four types of light microscopic methods used in the histology for the visualization of plant tissues and cells:

There are two types of electron microscopic methodes used in histology:

The specimen preparation for the light microscopy includes the following procedures.

The procedure for the specimen preparation for TEM are:

The specimen preparation for SEM includes:
