Granules can be identified using different staining techniques in histology. Common methods include:
- Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) Staining: This is a routine staining technique that can highlight granules based on their affinity for acidic or basic dyes. - Special Stains: Techniques like Periodic Acid-Schiff (PAS) and Giemsa stain are used to identify specific types of granules. - Electron Microscopy: Offers high resolution to visualize granules and their ultrastructural details.
