1
Initiation of Fixation
Process of preserving the tissue in “as life-like”
state as possible.
The most frequently used chemical is “Formalin”
7
2
Registration of Specimens
An important clerical step of issuing “a unique”
number to the specimen.
This step prevent “mix-up” of specimens in later
stages8
3
Grossing
Done by pathologist
Process of selecting the most likely are of
pathology for further processing and microscopic
studies.9
4
Completion of Fixation (Re-Fixation)
To ensure that the tissue is properly and
completely fixed before further steps
10
5
Processing
Dehydration
Removal of
water from
tissue.
11
6
Clearing
Intermediate step.
Impregnation or
infiltration
Filling the tissue
with paraffin wax
Block making (Embedding)
12
7
Process of surrounding the
impregnated tissue with paraffin wax
Section cutting (Microtomy)
13
8
The steps used to slice the “processed
tissue” into thin slices.
The slices tissue called a section.
Staining and Mounting
14
9
The process of allowing different colored
solutions (stains) to color different
components of the cell.
Reporting
15
10
The pathologist studies the processed and
