There are hundreds of steps a tissue biopsy must go through before a glass slide is made in the histology lab. Several of those steps, i.e. tissue grossing, embedding, and sectioning, are vitally important in producing a good glass slide. The way tissue is oriented in the tissue block can make or break the quality of a glass slide. This video talks about what it means for tissue to be oriented within a tissue block, why this process is important, common pitfalls in the process, and what both the surgeon and pathologist can do to minimize errors.
