Histology Core

NEI免疫病理科的组织学核心是致力于支持NEI的组织病理学活动的核心设施。这包括获取手术或尸检时取出的人体组织，对组织进行处理，为显微镜和透射电子显微镜准备和染色载玻片。在NEI内，组织学实验室为临床科、免疫学实验室、实验室和科学主任办公室下的单位、细胞病理学、超微结构和儿科病理科以及专门诊断单位提供服务。在2008财年期间，从3122多个样本中制备了大约3092个组织块，并对7623个切片进行了切割和染色。此外，该实验室还处理了送往超微结构的病例材料，从112个厚切片和291个样本中产生了1199张电子显微镜图像。本财年，收到了超过106个临床病例的163张咨询幻灯片。虽然大约95%的工作都致力于NEI的职责，但组织学核心也通过安排为NIH和NIH以外的研究项目处理眼睛和眼组织。这项活动与NIH运营的组织研究请求职能相协调。

The Histology Core of the Immunopathology Section, NEI is a core facility devoted to supporting the histopathological activities of NEI. This consists of accessioning human tissues removed at surgery or autopsy, processing the tissues, preparing and staining slides for microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Within the NEI, the Histology lab serves the Clinical Branch, Laboratory of Immunology, Laboratories and Units under the Scientific Director Office, Cytopathology, and Ultrastructural and Pediatric Pathology sections as well as the Specialized Diagnostics Unit. During FY08, approximately 3092 tissue blocks were prepared from over 3122 specimens and over 7623 slides were cut and stained. Additionally, the laboratory processed case materials sent for ultrastracture, which produced 1199 electron microscopic images from 112 thick sections and 291 samples. This fiscal year, 163 consult slides over 106 clinical cases were received. Although about 95% of effort is devoted to NEI duties, the Histology Core also performs service of processing eyes and ocular tissues for research projects in NIH and outside NIH by arrangement. This activity is coordinated with the tissue research request function of the NIH Operations.
