Cresyl violet stained partial brain section of a Macaque. It is used in biology and medicine as a histological stain. Cresyl violet is an effective and reliable stain used for light microscopy sections. Initially, tissue sections are "defatted" by passing through graded dilutions of ethanol. Then, rehydrated by passing back through decreasing ...
The papanicolaou stain is now used in place of cytological staining in all organ types due to its increase in morphological quality, decreased staining time, and decreased cost. It is frequently used to stain Pap smear specimens. [11] It uses a combination of haematoxylin, Orange G, eosin Y, Light Green SF yellowish, and sometimes Bismarck Brown Y.
Amyloid plaques are visible with the light microscope using a variety of staining techniques, including silver stains, Congo red, Thioflavin, cresyl violet, PAS-reaction, and luminescent conjugated oligothiophenes (LCOs).
The Nissl method is the staining of the cell body, and in particular endoplasmic reticulum. This is done by using various basic dyes (e.g. aniline , thionine , or cresyl violet ) to stain the negatively charged RNA blue, and is used to highlight important structural features of neurons.
Grübler's gentian violet was probably very similar, if not identical, to Lauth's methyl violet, which had been used as a stain by Victor André Cornil in 1875. [ 33 ] Although the name gentian violet continued to be used for the histological stain, the name was not used in the dye and textile industries. [ 34 ]
Photomicrograph of Nissl bodies (two are indicated by arrows) in the cytoplasm of motor neurons in the anterior horn of the spinal cord; cresyl violet stain (purple) along with a luxol fast blue stain for myelin. Scale bar = 30 microns (0.03mm). Drawing of a motor neuron from the ventral horn of the medulla spinals of a rabbit.
Main staining types when using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). A Basophil granulocyte stains dark purple upon H&E staining. Basophilic is a technical term used by pathologists. It describes the appearance of cells, tissues and cellular structures as seen through the microscope after a histological section has been stained with a basic dye.
Both are used for histology staining and biophysical studies of protein aggregation. [1] In particular, these dyes have been used since 1989 to investigate amyloid formation. [2] They are also used in biophysical studies of the electrophysiology of bacteria. [3] Thioflavins are corrosive, irritant, and acutely toxic, causing serious eye damage. [4]
