DIY Polarization: Validated Low-Cost Alternative for Birefringence in Histological and Cytological Analysis
This simple, validated method expands access to birefringence-based diagnostics and has potential applications in cytological contexts, such as amyloid detection in fine-needle aspirates and collagen assessment in cytospin preparations.
