What Are the Common Types of Adsorption in Histology?
There are two primary types of adsorption in histology: 1. Physical Adsorption: This type involves relatively weak forces such as van der Waals forces. It is generally reversible and does not involve any chemical reaction. 2. Chemical Adsorption: This type involves stronger forces, often chemical bonds such as covalent or ionic bonds. It is usually irreversible and involves a chemical reaction between the stain and the tissue.
