What is slide and block in a biopsy?plus

A block is the processed tissue specimen embedded in paraffin that preserves and stores the sample for cutting. A slide is a glass surface holding a thin section sliced from that block, then stained for microscopic examination. The block is the archival source; slides are the prepared, stained sections pathologists review to make a diagnosis.

What is the difference between a slide and a block?plus

The difference: a block is the paraffin‑embedded tissue specimen kept as the archival sample; it contains the whole tissue and can be resectioned for additional tests. A slide is a thin section cut from that block, mounted on glass and stained for microscopic examination. Blocks are permanent and reusable; slides are single preparations used for diagnosis and may deteriorate over time.
