Tissue Cytometry
Tissue cytometry (pronunciation: /ˈtɪʃuː saɪˈtɒmɪtri/) is a branch of cytometry that involves the quantitative analysis of cells in tissues.
Etymology
The term "tissue cytometry" is derived from the Greek words "tissue" meaning woven and "cytometry" meaning measurement of cells.
Definition
Tissue cytometry is a method used to measure the physical and chemical characteristics of cells in tissues. This technique is often used in pathology to diagnose and monitor diseases. It involves the use of various techniques such as fluorescence microscopy, confocal microscopy, and image analysis to quantify the properties of cells.
