A simple staining method for bacteria that is usually successful, even when the positive staining methods fail, is to use a negative stain. This can be achieved by smearing the sample onto the slide and then applying nigrosin (a black synthetic dye) or India ink (an aqueous suspension of carbon particles).
In the yellow form, all three nitrogen atoms carry a positive charge, of which two are protonated, while the green colour corresponds to a form of the dye with two of the nitrogen atoms positively charged. At neutral pH, both extra protons are lost to the solution, leaving only one of the nitrogen atoms positive charged.

Gram staining is not used to classify archaea, since these microorganisms yield widely varying responses that do not follow their phylogenetic groups. [10] Some organisms are gram-variable (meaning they may stain either negative or positive); some are not stained with either dye used in the Gram technique and are not seen. [citation needed]
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.
Staining dyes are dyes used for staining in microbiology and histology. Subcategories. This category has the following 2 subcategories, out of 2 total. I.
Bismarck brown Y also called C.I. 21000 [1] and C.I. Basic Brown 1, [1] is a diazo dye with the idealized formula [(H 2 N) 2 C 6 H 3 N 2] 2 C 6 H 4. The dye is a mixture of closely related compounds. It was one of the earliest azo dyes, being described in 1863 by German chemist Carl Alexander von Martius. It is used in histology for staining ...
If the bacteria is acid-fast the bacteria will retain the initial red color of the dye because they are able to resist the destaining by acid alcohol (0.4–1% HCl in 70% EtOH). [4] Additionally, it can be used for the staining of bacterial spores. Carbol-fuchsin is also used as a topical antiseptic and antifungal. [citation needed]
