Expands upon the knowledge and techniques learned in HistoTechnology Lab I and II. Students perform more complicated special stains focusing on methods used to demonstrate microorganisms, pigments, and minerals. Students also perform special stains commonly run on brain, muscle, and connective tissue.

 
Learning Outcomes:

• The student will perform the steps, functions of solutions and results of connective tissue and muscle stains.
• The student will perform the steps, functions of solutions and results of the microorganism stains.
• The student will perform the steps, functions of solutions, and results of the nervous system stains.
• The student will perform the steps, functions of solutions and results of the pigments and minerals stains.
• The student will perform “go-live” in the simulated student laboratory.
• The student will perform stains while thinking individually and working in teams without direct supervision.
• The student will communicate effectively within a team to complete assignments.
