• Devices and glass materials used in Pathology laboratories are known.
• Know acceptance and rejection criteria of tissue and cytological materials.
• Know the solutions and application sequence of the tissue.
• It acquires the ability to use microtome devices to obtain sections of 3-5 microns in thickness from textures.
• Learn deparaffinization process and application steps.
• Prepare and apply dye solutions for dyeing of tissues and cytological materials.
• They know the decalcification stage and the acids used and prepare them.
• The processes to be performed according to the properties of cytological materials are known (direct diffusion, centrifugation, cytocentrifuge, cell block) and applied.
• Knowledge about the maintenance and calibration of the devices used in Pathology Laboratory and its applications.
• Knows and applies special paint work applied to tissues.

Our students perform all these skills and practices in Pathology Laboratory in the presence of expert lecturers.
