Histotechnology

A histotechnician is an individual who is trained in the preparation and staining of tissue slides for microscopic examination and disease diagnosis by the pathologist. Histotechnicians may be employed in a variety of areas, such as hospitals, clinics, doctors' offices, research, veterinary pathology, marine biology, and forensic pathology. Histotechnicians may preserve organs for later examination and perform enzyme and immunohistochemistry techniques.
