Journal of Histotechnology

Aims & Scope

The official journal of the National Society for Histotechnology, Journal of Histotechnology, aims to advance the understanding of complex biological systems and improve patient care by applying histotechniques to diagnose, prevent and treat diseases.

Journal of Histotechnology is concerned with educating practitioners and researchers from diverse disciplines about the methods used to prepare tissues and cell types, from all species, for microscopic examination.

This is especially relevant to Histotechnicians.

Journal of Histotechnology welcomes research addressing new, improved, or traditional techniques for tissue and cell preparation.

This includes review articles, original articles, technical notes, case studies, advances in technology, and letters to editors.

Topics may include, but are not limited to, discussion of clinical, veterinary, and research histopathology.
