Shadowing Technique, Histology MeSH Descriptor Data 2025

MeSH Heading: Shadowing Technique, Histology
Tree Number(s): E01.370.225.500.620.670.770; E01.370.225.750.600.670.770; E05.200.500.620.670.770; E05.200.750.600.670.770
Unique ID: D016626
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D016626
Scope Note: The technique of spraying a tissue specimen with a thin coat of a heavy metal such as platinum. The specimen is sprayed from an oblique angle, which results in the uneven deposition of the coating. The varying thicknesses create a shadow effect and give a three-dimensional appearance to the specimen.
