This article throws light on the Special stains which are been used in histopathological procedures in which these abnormal or normal tissues can be properly appreciated. The article also focuses on the procedure, principle and uses of these special stains in their respective ...
Hoechst dyes are DNA-specific fluorescent stains that bind to the minor groove of double-stranded DNA. They emit blue fluorescence when excited by ultraviolet light. These dyes are widely used for staining DNA in various biological samples. The FluoroPure™-grade of Hoechst and DAPI powders are...
The histological staining process first requires the slicing of a fixed tissue specimen into sections of 2–10 μm, which are then fixed to microscope slides. Histological staining chemically introduces contrast into tissue sections, which can then be analysed and used to screen for diseases ...
The plasma membrane is a convenient marker of cell boundaries and as such, a number of probes have been used for staining of the membrane. Typically, dyes of a lipophilic nature are used; however, they internalize rapidly, offering a very narrow window for imaging. Fluorescently labeled lectins...
Abstract Bone or cartilage cells are essentially colorless, and it is difficult to distinguish their morphologies under a light microscope. To better visualize these structures, various staining te...
In addition to H&E, there are a variety of other histological stains with different properties which are used by pathologists to better highlight different tissue constituents. For example, Masson’s trichrome (MT) stain is used to view connective tissue2 and periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) can be...
It is useful to note that the term foxing, used to describe brown or reddish brown discoloration appearing on books, papers, some photographs, derives its name from TheFandOxin Ferrous Oxide, or iron oxide deposits that are attracted to areas in the paper substrate. ...
Some of the common stains that are used, at least in my lab, are good old H&E. There are a lot of things that can be seen on an H&E. GMS, Warthin-Starry, Giemsa, AFB or acid-fast, gram stain.IHCyou can use. It's very specific to the pathogen and they're usually viral, ...
The differences among algae, lichens, and moss on roofs are described at ALGAE, FUNGUS, LICHENS, MOSS COMPARED where we also show what moss looks like under the microscope. Also see TREES & SHRUBS, TRIM OFF BUILDING since reducing shade will reduce algae, moss, and lichens growth on sun...
Components used in processes according to embodiments of the present invention are used in amounts described herein, although more or less can be used. A polymer resin, or mixture of polymer resins, is present in amounts in the range of about 10-90 weight % of the admixture of the polymer...
