B. Course Objectives and Learning Outcomes

1. Course Description

The course is designed to supply the student with sufficient information on the theory and practical methods in the histological techniques. It includes the introduction of the principles for the identification of the different types of body tissues. Quality control and quality management practices in the histopathology laboratory will be emphasized. The

course also covers the application of electron microscopes in the biological and medical, fields as well as preparation of biological specimen for transmitted electron microscope.

2. Course Main Objective

1- Identification of basic types of body tissues.

2- Identification of the different methods used for preparation of cells and tissues for light microscopy.

3- Identification of routine and special stains used in histopathology.

4- Identification of the steps preparation of biological specimen for the Electron microscope
