What is the Importance of Histological Staining Techniques?
Histological staining techniques are essential for enhancing the visualization of cells and tissues under a microscope. Different stains highlight various cellular components, such as nuclei, cytoplasm, and extracellular matrix. Common stains include Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E), which differentiate between acidic and basic structures, and special stains like Masson's Trichrome for connective tissues. These techniques provide detailed insights into tissue architecture and pathology.
