What histological techniques are used to study energy storage?
Several histological techniques are employed to study energy storage, including staining methods and microscopy. Periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining is commonly used to visualize glycogen in tissues. Oil Red O and Sudan Black staining are utilized to detect lipids. Additionally, electron microscopy provides high-resolution images of cellular structures involved in energy storage, such as glycogen granules and lipid droplets.
