The applications of basic dyes in histology are vast and varied. They are used in routine diagnostic procedures, research, and educational settings to:
Differentiate Cell Types: By binding to specific cellular components, basic dyes help in identifying and differentiating between various cell types. Detect Pathological Changes: They are used to identify abnormal cellular changes, such as those seen in cancerous tissues. Study Cellular Structures: Basic dyes are essential for studying the morphology of cellular components, such as nuclei, cytoplasm, and organelles.
