What Staining Techniques are Used for Renal Cortex Histology?
Various staining techniques are employed to highlight different components of the renal cortex: - Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E): Provides general tissue architecture and cellular details. - Periodic Acid-Schiff (PAS): Stains basement membranes and polysaccharides, useful for identifying the glomerulus and tubules. - Silver Stain: Used to visualize reticular fibers and basement membranes more clearly.
