  2. Masson's trichrome stain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masson's_trichrome_stain

    It is used to stain collagen. If blue is preferred to green, methyl blue or water blue can be substituted. Standard applications: Masson's trichrome staining is widely used to study muscular pathologies (muscular dystrophy), cardiac pathologies , hepatic pathologies or kidney pathologies (glomerular fibrosis). It can also be used to detect and ...

    The field of histology that includes the preparation of tissues for microscopic examination is known as histotechnology. Job titles for the trained personnel who prepare histological specimens for examination are numerous and include histotechnicians, histotechnologists, [ 11 ] histology technicians and technologists, medical laboratory ...

  4. Toluidine blue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toluidine_blue

    Toluidine blue stain in a vasculitic peripheral neuropathy. Toluidine blue is a basic thiazine metachromatic dye with high affinity for acidic tissue components. [2] It stains nucleic acids blue and polysaccharides purple and also increases the sharpness of histology slide images.

  5. Mallory's trichrome stain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mallory's_trichrome_stain

    Mallory's trichrome stain also called Mallory's Triple Stain is a stain utilized in histology to aid in revealing different macromolecules that make up the cell. It uses the three stains: aniline blue, acid fuchsin, and orange G. As a result, this staining technique can reveal collagen, ordinary cytoplasm, and red blood cells. It is used in ...

  6. Phosphotungstic acid-haematoxylin stain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphotungstic_acid...

    Phosphotungstic acid haematoxylin (PTAH) is a mix of haematoxylin with phosphotungstic acid, used in histology for staining. It stains some tissue in contrasting colors in a way similar to haematoxylin and eosin stain, as phosphotungstic acid binds to tissue proteins.

  7. Weigert's elastic stain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weigert's_elastic_stain

    Blue coloured elastic fibers. Weigert's elastic stain is a combination of stains used in histology which is useful in identifying elastic fibers. Often orcein or a combination of resorcinol and fuchsine are used for staining. For counterstaining cell nuclei nuclear fast red or hematoxylin is also used. After applying, elastic fibers show up ...

  8. Methyl blue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methyl_blue

    Methyl blue is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C 37 H 27 N 3 Na 2 O 9 S 3.It is used as a stain in histology, [1] and stains collagen blue in tissue sections. It can be used in some differential staining techniques such as Mallory's connective tissue stain and Gömöri trichrome stain, and can be used to mediate electron transfer in microbial fuel cells.

  9. Staining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staining

    One default of this stain is that it blots out any other structure surrounding it and makes the quality of the contrast low. It has to be paired with other stains in order to be useful. Some complementing stains used alongside Bismark brown are Hematoxylin and Toluidine blue which provide better contrast within the histology sample.
