About this document

Histopathology Staining Techniques Guide by Fenyl Isis Guigayoma is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Histological staining makes cells and tissues visible under a microscope. There are several types of staining including direct, indirect, progressive, and regressive staining. Direct staining uses a single dye while indirect staining uses a mordant to intensify dye binding. Regressive staining overstains tissue then removes excess dye to differentiate structures. Common stains include hematoxylin and eosin which differentially stain nuclei and cytoplasm respectively.
