What role do staining techniques play in identifying similar-looking cells?
Staining techniques are crucial for differentiating similar-looking cells. Commonly used stains include Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E), Periodic Acid-Schiff (PAS), and Immunohistochemistry (IHC). These stains highlight different cell components and structures, making it easier to identify and differentiate between various cell types.
