How is H&E Staining Different from Other Staining Methods?
H&E staining is primarily used for general tissue morphology. In contrast, other staining methods target specific tissue components or cellular structures. For example, Periodic Acid-Schiff (PAS) stain highlights carbohydrates, while Masson's Trichrome stain is used for connective tissue differentiation. Each staining technique provides unique insights into tissue composition and function.
