Several staining techniques are commonly used to detect myelin in histological sections:
Luxol Fast Blue (LFB): This is a lipid stain that binds to the myelin sheaths, rendering them blue. Weil's Method: This method uses hematoxylin to stain myelin black. Bodian's Stain: This silver-based stain is used for nerve fibers and can also highlight myelinated fibers.
