What Are the Steps Involved in Warthin-Starry Staining?
The Warthin-Starry staining procedure involves several steps:
Deparaffinization and hydration of the tissue sections. Application of a silver nitrate solution. Reduction of silver ions using a reducing agent, often hydroquinone. Washing and counterstaining to enhance the contrast. Dehydration, clearing, and mounting of the stained sections for microscopic examination.
