What are Common Histological Stains Used in Reproductive Studies?
Several histological stains are commonly used to study reproductive tissues. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining is widely used for general tissue morphology. Periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining is used to identify glycogen and mucopolysaccharides in tissues. Masson's trichrome stain helps differentiate collagen from muscle fibers, useful in studying the structural integrity of reproductive organs.
