| Syllabus: | This unit prepares students for employment in a contemporary anatomical pathology laboratory. Students learn a range of skills regarding the preparation of tissue for microscopy, including; tissue dissection methods, tissue processing and advanced cryomicrotomy. The unit also covers the scientific principles and rationale for the application of special staining techniques that underpin a range of more commonly encountered pathology investigations. The laboratory exercises are designed to develop an appreciation of the standards required for the preparation of tissue sections for diagnosis and the interpretive and writing skills to describe the microscopic appearances of the conditions studies. |
