Histology Core

NEI的组织学核心致力于支持NEI和NIH其他合作机构的组织病理学活动。 这包括在手术和尸检中取出的人体组织的登记，组织的处理，显微镜和透射电子显微镜的制备和染色载玻片。 在NEI内，组织学实验室为临床分支和所有NEI实验室和NEI内部研究计划下的单位以及其他NIH研究所提供服务，这些研究所进行涉及眼组织的研究。 在2009财年期间，从超过6232份标本中制备了约3266个组织块，并切割和染色了超过6497个载玻片。 此外，实验室处理了送往超微结构的病例材料，从69个厚切片和60个样品中产生了455个电子显微镜图像。 本财政年度，共收到96例临床病例中的488张咨询幻灯片。 虽然约90%的工作是致力于NEI的职责，组织学核心也执行服务的处理眼睛和眼组织的研究项目，在NIH和NIH以外的合作和安排。 该活动与NIH运营部的组织研究请求职能相协调。

The Histology Core of the NEI devotes to supporting the histopathological activities of NEI and other collaborative institutes at the NIH. This consists of accessioning human tissues removed at surgery and autopsy, processing the tissues, preparing and staining slides for microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Within the NEI, the Histology lab serves the Clinical Branch and all NEI Laboratories and Units under the NEI intramural research program, as well as other NIH institutes, which perform research involving ocular tissues. During FY09, approximately 3266 tissue blocks were prepared from over 6232 specimens and over 6497 slides were cut and stained. Additionally, the laboratory processed case materials sent for ultrastracture, which produced 455 electron microscopic images from 69 thick sections and 60 samples. This fiscal year, 488 consult slides over 96 clinical cases were received. Although about 90% of effort is devoted to NEI duties, the Histology Core also performs service of processing eyes and ocular tissues for research projects inside NIH and outside NIH by collaborations and arrangements. This activity is coordinated with the tissue research request function of the NIH Operations.
