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。 这包括处理在手术中取出并在尸检中收集的人体组织（主要是眼部组织）。 我们对组织进行大体观察、切片和染色载玻片，以进行光镜和/或透射电子显微镜检查。 在NEI内，组织学实验室为临床分支和NEI校内研究计划下的所有NEI实验室以及其他NIH研究所提供服务，这些研究所进行涉及眼组织的研究。 在2010财年，从超过5，110份标本中制备了约3，501个组织块，并切割和染色了超过9，145个载玻片。 此外，实验室还处理了送往超微结构的病例材料，从1，571个厚切片和176个样品中产生了2，295个电子显微镜图像。 在本财政年度，我们亦收到及处理了来自超过125宗临床个案的527份咨询样本。 虽然我们大约92%的努力是致力于NEI的职责，组织学核心也执行服务的研究项目内部和外部的NIH。 核心遵循NIH内部研究计划的研究指导方针和NIH制定的其他标准。

The Histology Core of the NEI is devoted to supporting the histopathological activities of the NEI and other collaborative institutes at the NIH. This consists of processing human tissues (mainly ocular tissues) that were removed at surgeries and collected at autopsies. We gross the tissues, section and stain slides for light and/or transmission electron microscopy. Within the NEI, the Histology lab serves the Clinical Branch and all NEI laboratories under the NEI Intramural Research Program, as well as other NIH institutes, which perform research involving ocular tissues. During FY10, approximately 3,501 tissue blocks were prepared from over 5,110 specimens and over 9,145 slides were cut and stained. Additionally, the laboratory processed case materials sent for ultrastracture, which produced 2,295 electron microscopic images from 1,571 thick sections and 176 samples. This fiscal year, 527 consultation specimens from over 125 clinical cases were also received and processed. Although about 92% of our effort is devoted to NEI duties, the Histology Core also performs services for research projects inside and outside the NIH. The core follows the guidelines for the conduct of research in the intramural research program at the NIH and other standards set by the NIH.
