How is Luxol Fast Blue Stain Performed?

The staining process involves several steps:
Fixation: Tissue samples are fixed, typically in formalin, to preserve their structure.
Dehydration: Samples are dehydrated through a series of alcohol washes.
Embedding: Tissues are embedded in paraffin for sectioning.
Staining: Sections are stained with Luxol Fast Blue solution, which binds to the myelin.
Clearing: Excess stain is removed, and a counterstain may be applied for contrast.
Mounting: Sections are mounted on slides for microscopic examination.
