Staining techniques are employed to enhance the contrast of cellular components, making it easier to identify and study specific structures. Common stains include Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E), Masson's Trichrome, and Periodic Acid-Schiff (PAS). Adjusting staining protocols, such as dye concentration and incubation time, can improve the visibility of particular cell types and structures, facilitating more accurate interpretation.
