Question

A small tumor is excised from a patient's
body by a biopsy. A clinical cytopathologist
wants to examine the shape, size, and
arrangement of the cells within the tumor
by routine histology (the study of tissues)
by fixing and staining them with
hematoxylin and eosin. The best
microscopic technique to use would be:
O bright-field microscopy
O phase contrast microscopy
O fluorescence microscopy.
O All of the other can be used
O DIC microscopy

Expert Solution

Step 1: Bright field microscopy

The optimal microscopic method for examining cell shape, size, and arrangement within a tumor during routine histology is "bright-field microscopy." This technique is commonly used for detailed visualization of stained tissue samples in histopathology.
