What are the Histological Methods to Measure Calcium Ion Concentration?
Several histological techniques are employed to measure calcium ion concentration. Calcium-sensitive dyes like Fura-2 and Fluo-4 are commonly used for imaging calcium levels in live cells. Electron microscopy can provide detailed information about calcium deposits in tissues. Histochemical staining methods, such as the use of Alizarin Red S, can also visualize calcium ions in tissue sections.
