4) Impression cytology technique for conjunctiva: Performing the procedure and examination of the specimen.

5) PAP Smear.

6) Diagnostic immunohistochemistry:

·  Tumour Immunopathological Markers & Immunophenotyping:

Necessary for: the detection, diagnosis and prognosis of neoplasms and premalignant lesions.

·  Immunopathological Examination of Some Non Neoplastic Conditions:

For which the immunological profile is necessary to reach accurate diagnosis and hence treatment e.g. renal and skin biopsies.
