Method of Staining that requires aqeous or alcohol solution
Direct
Method of Staining that requires mordant and accentuator
Indirect
It serves as the link or bridge
Mordant
It hastens the speed of staining also called as accelerator
Accentuator
Method of staining that has a definitesequence (increasing)
Progressive
Method of staining that does not require washing, differentiation and decolorization
Progressive staining
Method of staining that overstained until the desired color is attained
Regressive
It is a method of staining that requires washing, differentiation and decolorization
Regressive
A method of staining that the tissue components combined with these dyes to form different color from the surrounding
Metachromatic
Method of staining with primary mordant and decolorizer
Counterstaining
Method of staining that are not dyes or metallic salts
Metallic impregnation
Example of metallic impregnation
Gold chloride and Silver nitrate
this agent is most commonly used in decalcification
Silver nitrate
This method of staining are used in living cells
Vital stains
Two types of vital stain
Intravital and Supravital
this method is through injection of dye (IV, Intraperitoneal, subcutaneous) inside the animals or etc
Intravital
this method is applied in living cells immediately after removal
Supravital
Example of Intravital stain
Lithium
Carmine
India Ink
Example of Supravital stain
Janus Green B
Neutral Red

Method of staining that uses flourescent dye
Fluorescent staining
this dye came from animals, plants and/or insects

Metallic Impregnation differs from staining because it produce _____________
Opaque black particulate
Used for demonstration of lipids
Osmium tetroxide
Under Natural dye that considered the most important and commonly used in histologic studies
Hematoxylin
A vegetable dye extracted from lichens which are normally colorless
Orcein
When this treated with ammonia and exposed to the air it produces blue or violet color
