histopath mounting and staining Flashcards
tissue components made visible by microscopic sections
Stainingstaining
purified form of coloring agnet or crude dye generally applied in aqueaous solution
histologic stain
acidic and basic part of cell
nucleus acidic, cutoplasm basic
chemical compound that reacts with stain to form insoluble colored precipitate on the tisse and make up the staining reaction possible
mordant
poorly permeale o most staining solution
paraffin eax
methods of staining
- direct
- indirect
3.progressive - regressive
- differentiation
- metachromatic
7.metallic - vital
- intravital
- supravivtal
only one dye used and washed away every 30-60 seconds prior to drying and exdamination
direct staining
action of dye is intensified by another agent or mordant
indirect staining
mordant combines with dye to form a lake to form a
tissue-mordant-dye-complex
that is insoluble in aqeous and alcoholic solvent
example of mordant
potassium alum with hematoxylin in ehrlich;s hematoxylin and iron ni weigert’s hematoxylin
accelerates reaction of chemical union of tissue and dye
accentuator
example of accentuator
mthyklene blue and phenol in carbol thionine and fuschin
tissue elements are staining in definite sequrnce
progressive staining
tissue is overstainied to obliterate cellular details tas dedecolorize excess stain from unwanted parts till desired intensity of color is obrained
regressive staining
example oof regressive staining
hematoxylin and eosin staining
used for micranatomical studies of tissues, overstianing the nuclei then removing te excess color by acid differentiation
regressive staning
selective removal of ecess stain
differential stain
differentiator for both acidic and basic dye by simply dissolving dye
alcohohol
detects abnormalities in proportion of different wbc in bloof
alcohol
oxidize hematoxylin to colorless compount para madeoclorize tissue
iron alum
stainins tissue in color shades similar to color of dye itself
metachromatic staining
staining cartilage, ct, epithelial mucus, mast cell granules and amyloid
metachromatic stianingq
example of metachromatic staining
azure/toluidine blue
specific tissue elements are shown via colorless solution of metallic salts which are then reduced by tisses, producing an opaque usually black deposit
metallic impregnation
