Hi, Colourblindness ain’t a problem at all. I know, because I already work for 35 years in the histopathogy. Just a few things that causes problems for me: Grossing: I describe tissue in the way I see, mostly I call something with 2 colours, p.e. “ the serose is brownish grey” (while collegaes mostly mention 1 colour. But I can see the difference between normal and abnormal tissue, that’s more important. Embedding: only skin biopsies is it difficult to oriëntate when the colour of the dermis is the same as the subcutis (in my eyes ;-). So with that, I ask my collegaes to embed these biopsies for me. Staining: When I have to do the stainings, I just have to following the protocol. In the SOP, There is always a example of the control slide. I just have to compare the determination with the example of the SOP .
These are just a few example. A colourblind technologist could be a great technician, with just a very small restriction.
