Histopathology :
It is the study of tissues removed from patients during life (Biopsy) or study of whole dead body (Autopsy or Post mortem). Routine study is done with light microscopic findings. An enhanced wing of additional diagnostic support is rendered by Special stains, marker studies, electron microscopy, immunofluorescence and molecular pathology studies
Cytopathology :
Study of cells collected from patients by way of F.N.A.C (Fine needle Aspiration cytology) or from aspirated body fluids.Haematology: Investigations done on the blood samples (most of the times to know about the quality and quantity of blood cells).
Clinical pathology:
The common samples handled are urine, stool, semen and other body fluids.
Immuno pathology:
Investigations based on normal and/or aberrant immune mechanism of our body causing disease/ailment
Experimental pathology:
Leadings edge in research medicine to unravel the medical mysteries, which has high impact on ever changing concept of nature of disease and hence the suitable treatment modalities.Geographic pathology and genetic pathology are useful in marking out pattern of occurrence of certain diseases in particular area (locality) or in a particular ethnic group/race/family.
