  2. Staining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staining

    Staining is a technique used to enhance contrast in samples, generally at the microscopic level. Stains and dyes are frequently used in histology ...

  3. H&E stain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H&E_stain

    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. [8]

  4. Stain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stain

    A stain is a discoloration that can be clearly distinguished from the surface, material, or medium it is found upon. They are caused by the chemical or physical ...

  5. Basophilic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basophilic

    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.

  6. Histopathology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histopathology

    The aim of staining is to reveal cellular components; counterstains are used to provide contrast. The most commonly used stain in histology is a combination of hematoxylin and eosin (often abbreviated H&E). Hematoxylin is used to stain nuclei blue, while eosin stains the cytoplasm and the extracellular connective tissue matrix of most cells ...

  7. Haematoxylin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haematoxylin

    Hematoxylin staining shown as "basophilic" at top, seen with dual staining with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). Haematoxylin stain is commonly followed (or counterstained) with another histologic stain, eosin. [10] [11] [1] When paired, this staining procedure is known as H&E staining, and is one of the most commonly used combinations in histology.

  8. Trichrome staining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichrome_staining

    Trichrome staining is a histological staining method that uses two or more acid dyes in conjunction with a polyacid. Staining differentiates tissues by tinting them in contrasting colours. It increases the contrast of microscopic features in cells and tissues, which makes them easier to see when viewed through a microscope.

  9. Eosinophilic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eosinophilic

    A basophil granulocyte is surrounded by lightly staining eosinophilic erythrocytes in an H&E staining. Eosinophilic (Greek suffix -phil-, meaning loves eosin) is the staining of tissues, cells, or organelles after they have been washed with eosin, a dye. Eosin is an acidic dye for staining cell cytoplasm, collagen, and muscle fibers.
