How to Identify Tissues Under the Microscope?

Several techniques and staining methods are employed to identify tissues under the microscope. Some of the common methods include:
Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) Staining: Differentiates between cellular components; hematoxylin stains nuclei blue, and eosin stains cytoplasm pink.
Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Uses antibodies to detect specific proteins within tissues.
Periodic Acid-Schiff (PAS) Staining: Highlights carbohydrates and mucosubstances in tissues.
Masson's Trichrome Staining: Differentiates between muscle, collagen, and fibrin.
