How are Goblet Cells Identified in Histological Sections?
In histological sections, goblet cells can be identified by their distinct morphology. They typically appear as large, oval or flask-shaped cells with a clear, unstained cytoplasm filled with mucin granules. These cells are often stained with special histochemical stains, such as Periodic Acid-Schiff (PAS) or Alcian Blue, which highlight the mucin content.
