Currently, pathology laboratories use instruments and equipment that are used to obtain help in the diagnosis of many diseases, including cancer. Among the most used equipment in this science, we have: microtomes, microscopes, tissue processor, tissue water baths, cryostats, cooling plates, paraffin cutter and dispenser, slide dryers, tissue inclusion systems, automatic staining systems for slides, among others.
Thus, the pathologist or pathologist identifies the causes and consequences of diseases that affect specific parts of the body, through microscopic analysis of samples of tissues or cells, previously prepared with special dyes that help identify structural alterations, in cells and tissues, as well as protein or genetic abnormalities.
