Overview Equipment Expertise Resources Virtual Tour

Microanatomy of cells and tissue

Histology is an essential foundational technique for many biological scientists and clinicians, allowing them to visualise and better understand the microanatomy of cells and tissue.

TRI’s Histology Facility provides access to a range of specialized equipment and supports full-service sample-to-slide histology work, as well as self-service operation, with training provided to users who would like to work independently.

Facility staff are highly experienced in the fields of medical research, clinical pathology and translational work with a broad range of samples, including: pathology samples, animal samples, insects, fish, minerals, and plant materials.
