[Histonet] re what is histology?

[Carl]

After a friend asked what I am/did, I expained about Histology, staining,
dyes etc. I subsequently overheard him saying to another person that I was
an artist! To him dyes/stains= paints...( hadn't listened to a word....or my
explanation was inadequate  lol)
I suppose it's true; a picture paints a thousand words. Perhaps that's why,
for example, the pathologist uses many words to describe what's seen in a
section  ;-)
