What are Common Histological Stains Used in Toxicology?
Several stains are frequently used in toxicology studies:
- Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E): Highlights general tissue structure, nuclei (blue), and cytoplasm (pink). - Masson's Trichrome: Differentiates between muscle, collagen, and fibrin. - Periodic Acid-Schiff (PAS): Stains carbohydrates and glycogen. - Oil Red O: Detects lipids in tissues.
