Q

The process of giving color to the sections by using aqueous or alcoholic dye solutions. In simple staining only one dye isused, which is washed away after 30-60 seconds, prior to drying and examination.

Q

With this technique, the tissue is first overstained to obliterate the cellular details, and the excess stain is removed or decolorized front, unwanted parts of the tissue, until the desired intensity of color is obtained.

Q

is a process where specific tissue elements aredemonstrated, not by stains, but by colorless solutions of metallic salts which arether by reduced by the tissue, producing an opaque, usually black deposit on thesurface of the tissue or bacteria.

Q

is the corner stone of tissue-based diagnosis. The process stains thin tissue sections so that pathologists can visualize tissue morphology. The process uses a hematoxylin dye to stain cell nuclei (and other parts) blue and an eosin dye to stain other structures pink or red

are substances with definite atomic groupings and are capable of producing visible colors.

A

Chromophores

Q

where the active coloring substance is found in the acid component, and the inactive base, e.g. acid fuchsin,

A

Acid dyes

18
Q

where the active coloring substance is found in a basic component that combines with the acid radical (usually taken from sulfuric, acetic or hydrochloric acid). An example of a basic nuclear stain is methylene blue, which may be usedboth as an indicator and as a dye.

A

Basic dyes

19
Q

are formed by combining aqueous solutions of acid and basic dyes, capable of staining cytoplasm and nucleus simultaneously and differentially. Examples are Romanowsky dyes used in hematology. Giemsa’s stain, and Irishman’s stain for leukocyte differentiation.

A

Neutral dyes
