Dental School Histology Core Facility
The histology core facility at the University of Michigan School of Dentistry provides histological services using standard histological techniques. Although, our core specializes in sectioninig of hard (demineralized) tissues, we specialize in all tissue, scaffolds, hydrogel samples and many other techniques. Our Core can do most special stain requests when provided a protocol, if it's not one we already have on file in our SOP's.
