The Histologic Technician is not only the eyes of the pathologist but also the artist of the laboratory. The Histologic Technician’s canvas is a plain glass slide to which color and design will be added. The medium is not oil, clay or stone but the entire array of human, animal and plant bodies.
The histotechnician's palette includes colors with names such as Hematoxylin, Eosin, and Alcian Blue pH 2.5, Acid Fast Green, Nuclear Fast Red, Carbol Fuchsin and others. The tools are not paintbrushes, chisels or drying ovens but have names such as tissue grossing, tissue processing, tissue embedding, microtome and microscopes.
The student will learn the art of preparing quality slides for the pathologists in order to aid in diagnosis and treatment of medical problems in conjunction with surgical and clinical findings.
