What are the Alternatives to Perls' Prussian Blue Stain?
Other methods for detecting iron include Turnbull's Blue stain for ferrous iron (Fe2+) and advanced techniques like atomic absorption spectroscopy and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for quantifying tissue iron content.
In conclusion, Perls' Prussian Blue stain remains a cornerstone in histological techniques for detecting iron deposits in tissues. Its simplicity, specificity, and cost-effectiveness make it an indispensable tool in both clinical and research settings.
