The Histology Laboratory has gained a reputation for preparing excellent paraffin-embedded, hematoxylin and eosin stained sections as well as special stained sections. The Histology Laboratory processes more than 300,000 paraffin-embedded tissue blocks per year and more than 1.2 million slides!

A wide range of specimens are handled in the laboratory including bone marrow biopsies, surgical resections and biopsies, dermatology biopsies, tissue obtained at autopsy, outside blocks sent in consultation, and a wide variety of research specimens.
