Different staining techniques are used to highlight various structures within tissues. Common stains include Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E), which stains nuclei blue and cytoplasm pink, and Masson's Trichrome, which differentiates between muscle, collagen, and fibrin. Immunohistochemistry is another technique that uses antibodies to detect specific proteins. Each staining method provides unique information about the tissue's structure and function.
