Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: To teach the basic techniques used in histology laboratories and to gain skills by practicing these techniques at the end of the course. It is to enable the student to independently experience the process of preparing preparations from tissue.
Course Content: (LESSON 1) Fixation types and methods 1
Purpose of fixation, changes in tissues as a result of fixation, types of fixation, working mechanism of fixation, factors affecting fixation
(LESSON 2) Fixation types and methods 2
Formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, osmium tetraoxide, methyl alcohol, acetone, Bouin's fixative, Mercury, Zenker types and their properties; fixation artifacts
(LESSON 3) Tissue tracking steps
Purpose of tissue tracking, e.g. size characteristics, dehydration, dehydration agents, clearing, clearing agents, impregnation, machine tracking, manual tracking procedure examples and points to consider
(LESSON 4) Dyeing types and principles
Dye types, theory of dyeing, factors affecting dyeing, metachromatic dyes, mordant, dyeing procedure examples and points to consider.
(LESSON 5) Hematoxylin and eosin stain
Hematoxylin types, hematoxylin and eosin staining procedure examples and points to consider. Interpretation of sample micrografts
(LESSON 6) Carbohydrate, protein, lipid dyes 1
Staining of different carbohydrates, Periodic Acid-Schiff's (PAS) dye and its properties, Alcian blue dye and its properties. Interpretation of sample micrografts
(LESSON 7) Carbohydrate, protein, lipid dyes 2
Different lipid dyes, Sudan black, Oil red O dye and its properties, different protein dyes. Interpretation of sample micrografts
(LESSON 8) Nucleic acid and pigment dyes
Nucleic acid and different pigment (hemosiderin, bile, melanin, lipofuscin, chromaffin) dyes, examples and properties. Interpretation of sample micrografts
(LESSON 9) Connective tissue dyes 1
Masson Trichrome, Van Gieson, Verhoeff's paints and their properties. Interpretation of sample micrografts
(LESSON 10) Connective tissue dyes 2
Orcein, Phosphotungstic Acid, Weigert dyes and their properties. Interpretation of sample micrografts
(LESSON 11) Immunohistochemistry 1
Working principle and method of immunohistochemical dyes (tissue procurement, fixation, antigen retrieval, use of positive and negative controls, chromogen staining)
(LESSON 12) Immunohistochemistry 2
Handling and managing “Troubleshooting”, quality controls, factors affecting staining quality, observing the preparations on the monitor and points to pay attention to
(LESSON 13) Immunohistochemistry 3
Observation and interpretation of micrograft images of different immunohistochemical markers
