How Do Histologists Differentiate Between Tissue Types?
Histologists use specific staining techniques and microscopy to differentiate between various tissue types. For example, Hematoxylin stains cell nuclei blue, while Eosin stains cytoplasm and extracellular matrix pink. Other special stains and immunohistochemistry techniques can highlight specific proteins or structures, aiding in the identification of different cell types and tissue components.
