How Do Staining Techniques Enhance Histological Analysis?
Staining techniques are essential for visualizing cellular and tissue structures under a microscope. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining is the most common method, highlighting nuclei and cytoplasmic components. Special stains, such as Masson's trichrome and Periodic acid-Schiff (PAS), are used to identify specific tissue components like collagen fibers and glycogen, respectively.
