Microscopy Solutions for Cytology and Cytopathology
Detect Diseases on the Cellular LevelCytopathology or cytology aims to detect diseases on the cellular level by the study of single cells and cell structures. This pathology discipline was founded in 1928 by the Greek medicine pioneer George Papanicolaou who also invented the “Pap smear”. These smear tests are now commonly used in cytopathology where clinical samples from a wide range of body sites are spread and deposited across a glass microscope slide, resulting in a thin film of cells for subsequent staining and examination by light microscopy.
