What are some common staining techniques used in veterinary histology?
Various staining techniques are employed to enhance the contrast of tissues and cells. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, the most commonly used method, provides a general overview of tissue structure. Special stains like Periodic Acid-Schiff (PAS), Masson's trichrome, and Gram staining are used to highlight specific tissue components or microorganisms, aiding in more precise diagnosis.
