Histology is the study of the structure of tissues and organs by examining them under a microscope, often after treating them with special stains to make different parts visible. It matters because it allows doctors and scientists to identify diseases, understand how tissues are organized, and make important medical diagnoses.

Histology, also known as microscopic anatomy, microanatomy or histoanatomy, is the branch of biology that studies the microscopic anatomy of biological tissues. Histology is the microscopic counterpart to gross anatomy, which looks at larger structures visible without a microscope.
