These instruments include mechanical, electronic and other tempreature dependant Devices
1. Microtome: A microtome is a machine used to cut thin sections of tissues for microscopic examination. It is used to prepare tissue samples for staining and analysis.
2. Cryostat: A cryostat is a machine used to cut frozen tissue samples into thin sections. It is used to prepare samples for immunofluorescence and other special staining techniques.
3. Tissue processor: A tissue processor is a machine used to process tissue samples from fixation to infiltration with paraffin wax. It helps to preserve the tissue structure and make it easier to cut thin sections.
4. Embedding center: An embedding center is used to embed tissue samples in paraffin wax blocks. It is an important step in the preparation of tissue samples for microscopic examination.
5. Microscope: A microscope is used to observe tissue samples under high magnification. It helps to identify abnormal cells and structures that may indicate disease.
6. Staining equipment: Staining equipment is used to stain tissue samples with dyes that highlight specific structures or cells. Different stains are used for different purposes, such as identifying bacteria or highlighting cancer cells.
7. Autopsy saw: An autopsy saw is used to cut through bone and other hard tissues during an autopsy. It helps to collect tissue samples for analysis.
8. Centrifuge: A centrifuge is used to separate different components of a tissue sample, such as cells and fluid. This helps to isolate specific cells or structures for analysis.
9. Incubator: An incubator is used to maintain a constant temperature and humidity for tissue samples during processing and analysis.
10. Computer software: Computer software is used to analyze and interpret tissue samples. It helps to identify abnormal cells and structures, and to diagnose diseases
