proximal

17
Q

in LIMBS, the _______ region is further away from the origin (tunk)

A

18
Q

Light Microscopy (LM)

A

Photons interact with tissue components, light is focused w/ optical lens

19
Q

Electron Microscopy (EM)

A

electrons interact w/ tissue components (tissue has been manipulated)

20
Q

Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM)

A

shows INTERNAL structure

21
Q

Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)

A

shows EXTERNAL (surface) structure

22
Q

2 basic types of stains

A

basophilic (acid stain)
acidophilic (base stain)

23
Q

Basophilic stains

A

interact with acidic (basophilic) structures
- acidic components appear blue or purple

24
Q

Acidophilic stains

A

interact with basic (acidophilic) structures
- basic components appear pink,red,orange

25
Q

most common stain type

A

H&E (hematoxylin and Eosin)

hematoxylin = basophilic stain
eosin = acidophilic stain
