Histology 

Allows one to image cells in the context of a tissue, by cutting sections of tissue on a microtome. These sections can then be stained by Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), staining the nucleus and cytosol in blue and pink respectively. Alternatively, perform immunohistochemistry on your tissue samples to detect specific antigens via fluorescence microscopy.
