Abstract:
Histology is a technique used to study the morphology of cell structures by cutting samples into thin sections. Histological cross-section and staining are the techniques needed to visualize the morphology of cell tissues. A suitable tissue staining experiment was created to observe changes in the retinal layer in zebrafish embryos. Zebrafish have a human-like visual system, retina, and eye structures. Due to the small size of zebrafish and undeveloped bones in the embryonic stage, the resistance through cross-section is inevitably small. Here, we present optimized protocol changes in eye tissue of zebrafish using frozen blocks.
