How is Elastic Lamina Visualized in Histological Sections?
Elastic lamina can be visualized using special staining techniques. One common method is the Verhoeff-Van Gieson stain, which specifically highlights elastic fibers by staining them black. Another technique is the Orcein stain, which stains elastic fibers brown. These stains make it easier to differentiate the elastic lamina from other components of the blood vessel wall in histological sections.
