How Do Histological Stains Help Identify Biochemical Components?
Histological stains are crucial for visualizing different biochemical components within tissues. Stains like Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) are commonly used to differentiate between cellular and extracellular components. Specific stains, such as Masson's Trichrome, highlight collagen fibers, while Oil Red O stains lipids. These staining techniques provide critical insights into the tissue's biochemical composition and potential pathological changes.
