How is Cellular Debris Detected in Histological Samples?
Several staining techniques are used to detect cellular debris in histological samples. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining is one of the most common methods, where hematoxylin stains nuclear material blue, and eosin stains cytoplasmic components pink. This contrast helps in identifying cellular debris. Other stains, such as trichrome and immunohistochemistry, can be used to highlight specific components of cellular debris, such as collagen or specific proteins, respectively. Advanced techniques like electron microscopy can also be employed to visualize cellular debris at a higher resolution.
