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.
A Ziehl–Neelsen stain is an acid-fast stain used to stain species of Mycobacterium tuberculosis that do not stain with the standard laboratory staining procedures such as Gram staining. This stain is performed through the use of both red coloured carbol fuchsin that stains the bacteria and a counter stain such as methylene blue .
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.
The Wayson stain is a basic fuchsin-methylene blue, ethyl alcohol-phenol microscopic staining procedure. It was originally a modified methylene blue stain used for diagnosing bubonic plague . [ 1 ] With this stain, Yersinia pestis appears purple with a characteristic safety-pin appearance, [ 2 ] which is due to the presence of a central vacuole.
A Gram stain of mixed Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus ATCC 25923, gram-positive cocci, in purple) and Escherichia coli (E. coli ATCC 11775, gram-negative bacilli, in red), the most common Gram stain reference bacteria. Gram stain (Gram staining or Gram's method), is a method of staining used to classify bacterial species into two large groups ...
Neutral red (toluylene red, Basic Red 5, or C.I. 50040) is a eurhodin dye used for staining in histology. It stains lysosomes red. [1] It is used as a general stain in histology, as a counterstain in combination with other dyes, and for many staining methods. Together with Janus Green B, it is used to stain embryonal tissues and supravital ...
Staining dyes are dyes used for staining in microbiology and histology. Subcategories. This category has the following 2 subcategories, out of 2 total. I.
Trypan Blue, a living-cell exclusion dye; Triphenyl tetrazolium chloride; Erythrosine, which is Red No. 3 in food coloring, can be used as an exclusion dye. 7-Aminoactinomycin D used e.g. in flowcytometric studies of hematopoietic stem cell viability. Other Vital Stains : Janus Green B is a basic dye and vital stain used in histology.
