The lamina propria is a loose connective tissue, hence it is not as fibrous as the underlying connective tissue of the submucosa. [4] [self-published source?] The connective tissue and architecture of the lamina propria is very compressible and elastic, this can be seen in organs that require expansion such as the bladder. [5]
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 H&E staining procedure is the principal stain in histology [3] [7] [2] [5] in part because it can be done quickly, [7] is not expensive, and stains tissues in such a way that a considerable amount of microscopic anatomy [9] [10] is revealed, [7] [5] [4] and can be used to diagnose a wide range of histopathologic conditions.

Merkel cell. Merkel cells are found in the skin and some parts of the mucosa of all vertebrates. In mammalian skin, they are clear cells found in the stratum basale [2] [3] (at the bottom of sweat duct ridges) of the epidermis approximately 10 μm in diameter.
A second acid dye (blue or green) in dilute acetic acid is applied which, in turn, displaces the polyacid, resulting in collagen stained in a contrasting colour to the initial dye used. If erythrocytes are to be stained, a small molecular weight yellow or orange dye is applied before staining with the red dye.
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 ...
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.
Micromass cultures of C3H-10T1/2 cells at varied oxygen tensions stained with Alcian blue. Alcian blue (/ ˈ æ l ʃ ə n /) is any member of a family of polyvalent basic dyes, of which the Alcian blue 8G (also called Ingrain blue 1, and C.I. 74240, formerly called Alcian blue 8GX from the name of a batch of an ICI product) has been historically the most common and the most reliable member.
