The preparation of histopathological slides involves several steps. First, a tissue sample or biopsy is obtained from the patient. This sample is then fixed using a chemical solution, commonly formalin, to preserve its structure. The fixed tissue is embedded in paraffin wax, which allows thin slicing. These thin sections are stained using specific dyes, such as hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), to highlight different cellular components. Finally, the stained sections are mounted on glass slides for microscopic examination.
