Question

Histopathology is the use of microscopes to view tissues to diagnose and track the progression of diseases. Why are thin slices of tissue ideal for this procedure? Quzlet

Answer 1

In the field of histopathology, the tissues to be observed under the microscope are cut in very thin slices. The thin slices make the tissue transparent, and thus, it  becomes easier to observe the internal structures and accurately diagnose a disease. The tissues slices cut for the observation are generally not more than 3 micro meters in their thickness.

Hence, the answer is 'to make the tissues transparent and easier to observe'.
