What Histological Stains are Used to Study Oxygen Transport?
Several histological stains are used to study structures involved in oxygen transport:
Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E): Commonly used to visualize general tissue structure, including blood cells and capillaries. Wright-Giemsa Stain: Specifically used to differentiate and identify different types of blood cells, including erythrocytes. Prussian Blue Stain: Used to detect iron, particularly in studies of hemoglobin and erythrocytes.
