The histology laboratory contributes a valuable service aiding pathologists in providing patient diagnoses.  Information gained through microscopic evaluation of tissue slides prepared by histology technicians allows a pathologist to either identify or dismiss disease.  The preparatory steps taken to ensure a quality diagnosis are key to this relationship.
