microscopic examination of histology slide and drawn diagram

Histology slides are examined by:

1. Inspection: Inspect the slide using just your eyes and a good light source to first determine the shape of the prepared section.

2. Calibration: Place the slide under the microscope and calibrate the microscope so that the image produced is clear. Move the slide around so that its entire surface can be seen and check it with different lenses and magnifications.

3. Description: Write down a description of the major and minor structures that can be seen and name the ones that you are sure of.

4. Determination: Determine the staining, sectioning and preparation process of the slide

5. Identification: Once you have collected all the necessary information, try to piece the evidence together and through a process of elimination, identify the slide.

6. Completion: Add all additional information to your notes.

7. Remember! Never jump to any conclusions, even if you are sure which micro preparation you have. Review all of the content at your disposal and only then, identify your slide.
