How are Aspergillus Spores Identified in Histological Samples?
In histological samples, Aspergillus spores can be identified using various staining techniques. One common method is the use of Gomori methenamine silver (GMS) stain, which stains the fungal cell walls black. Another method is the Periodic Acid-Schiff (PAS) stain, which stains the spores in a magenta color. These techniques help in highlighting the spores against the background tissue, making them easier to identify under a microscope.
