The art and science performed by the histotechnologist to produce a tissue section of good quality

(a)  

Responsible for the processing of tissue sections

(a)  

Provide the basic concepts about the principles and technicalities involved in histopathologic procedures. Provide skills in tissue preparation from fresh to properly mounted specimen

(a)  

It is one of the important machines required in histopathology for processing organ and tissues before being embedded in paraffin wax

(a)  

The older version or manual method of automatic tissue processor

(a)  

An instrument where tissues are cut into sections

(a)  

process of cutting into thin sections

(a)  

What do you call about the thin sections of tissue

(a)  

Used when the specimen is subjected for the frozen section. A a refrigerated apparatus used in fresh tissue microtomy, for freezing the tissue into the block holder to correct degree of hardness to facilitate easier and faster sectioning

(a)  

Used to float paraffin ribbons, to stretch sections and remove wrinkle

(a)  

Used for drying or dehydrating of paraffin ribbons after the water bath. Removing moisture from samples

(a)  

Optimizes times during stain process to maximize efficiency (fast and increase accuracy) in obtention of results for a timely diagnosis

(a)  

An equipment that is used by both the pathologist and the histotechnologist. Pathologist examines the slide under the microscope to identify a disease process or an abnormality that will directly affect the patient's treatment

(a)  

Microscope with more than one lens and its own light source. There are ocular lenses in the binocular eyepieces and objective lenses in a rotating nosepiece closer to the specimen

(a)  

Only uses one eyepiece when viewing the specimen. They are light weight and are inexpensive

(a)  

Have two eyepieces and are more convenient and comfortable to use. It is the most common choice.

(a)  

Have a third eyepiece tube that can be used by another person simultaneously or by an LCD camera. More expensive than the other two types.

(a)  

Provides support for the microscope. should be large and solid enough to allow the microscope to stand by itself

(a)  

Supports and holds the magnifying and adjustment system. It can be used as a handle for carrying the microscope.

(a)  

Is the flat platform where the slide is placed for examination.

(a)  

Is located directly under the stage and holds the condenser and diaphragh

(a)  

Permits movement of the stage while holding the slide in the phase of focus

(a)  

Is located at the end of the body tube for holding the objectives

(a)  

Consist of a system of lenses located at the end of the body tube that is held in place by the nosepiece and is closer to the slide under examination. The purpose of the objective is to increase or decrease magnification

(a)  

What do you call when one objective is focused on the turret, all lenses will be approximately in focus

(a)  

Is the distance between outer lens of objective and the cover glass of the slide under examination

(a)  

the process that increases the size of the structure under examination

(a)  

Process of ensuring and maintaining personal as well as environmental health and safety in the laboratory

(a)  

Ratio of the sodium hypochlorite/ bleach

(a)  

o Represents the maximum level of an airborne substance that a worker can be safely subjected to without being susceptible to harm or injury

(a)  

Indicates the level of admissible exposure, for a length of time (usually 8 hours), to a chemical or physical hazard that is not likely to affect the health of a worker

(a)  

Are chemicals that cause reversible inflammatory effects at the site of contact with living tissue, especially the skin, eyes and respiratory passages

(a)  

Cause destruction or irreversible alterations when exposed to living tissue, or destroy certain inanimate surfaces (generally metal)

(a)  

Cause allergic reactions in some exposed workers, not just in hypersensitive individuals

(a)  

Are substances that induce tumors, not only in experimental animals but also in humans

(a)  

Are capable of causing death by ingestion, skin contact or inhalation at certain specified concentrations

(a)  

Slips and falls from working in wet locations and the ergonomic hazards of lifting, pushing, pulling, and repetitive tasks are example of what hazard?

(a)  

Refer to anything that can cause disease in humans, regardless of their source

(a)  

Degree to which healthcare services strive to provide accurate desired outcomes for patients and are consistent with current professional knowledge

(a)  

“Freedom from accidental injury”

(a)  

System of routine technical activities. Provides routine and consistent checks to identify, address errors and omissions, ensures data integrity, correctness and completeness and also records all quality control activities

(a)  

Planned system of review procedures conducted by personnel not directly involved in the laboratory process

(a)  

Stained preparations from departmental archival records are used to assess the quality of staining

(a)  

Participating laboratories are asked to stain sections that have been submitted by the scheme organizer

(a)
