How Does India Ink Compare to Other Staining Techniques?
Compared to other staining methods, India ink offers a unique combination of simplicity and effectiveness. Unlike complex chemical stains that require multiple steps and reagents, India ink provides immediate results with minimal preparation. However, it is not suitable for staining cellular components or identifying specific proteins within a tissue, where other specialized stains like Hematoxylin and Eosin or immunofluorescence might be more appropriate.
