2. During the preparation of tissue sample a routine H&E slide,what step occurs after the tissue is fixated? A. Embedding in paraffin B. Staining C. Slicing D. Observation

The correct answer is A. Embedding in paraffin.<br /><br />After the tissue is fixated, it is typically embedded in paraffin wax to create a solid block that can be easily handled and sectioned. This process involves infiltrating the fixed tissue with paraffin wax, which acts as a support medium for the tissue. The embedded tissue block is then placed in a microtome, where it is sliced into thin sections or slides for further processing, such as staining.
