# Tissue Processing and Histology

> **NIH NIH P30** · UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN DIEGO · 2020 · $132,464

## Abstract

ABSTRACT 
Tissue Processing and Histology Core 
The Tissue Processing and Histology Core will continue to serve the needs of UCSD vision researchers by 
providing dedicated tissue processing equipment and a full-time histotechnician experienced in eye 
histology and immunohistochemistry. The Tissue Processing and Histology core supports both paraffin and 
cryosection processing and various staining strategies. The core also provides vision researchers with 1) 
advice for fixation selection depending on study purpose; 2) paraffin and cryo blocking of study samples; 3) 
paraffin or cryo histology slide preparation with customized staining, 4) assistance for proper interpretation 
and precision microsampling of the region of interest for electron microscopy evaluation and 5) high content 
confocal imaging for drug screening and histologic specimen imaging.
