Why is Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) Staining Popular?
The Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) staining technique is one of the most widely used methods in histology due to its ability to provide a general overview of tissue structure. Hematoxylin stains the nuclei a blue-purple color, while eosin stains the cytoplasm and extracellular matrix various shades of pink. This contrast makes it easier to distinguish between different tissue components.
