Hematoxylin & Eosin Stain
Cat. # SG501 The
combination of hematoxylin and eosin stains (H & E, cf. Products, Cat. #PS104
& PS103)
is one of the most widely used staining techniques in histology and
histopathology. Hematoxylin imparts a blue color to the basophilic tissue
elements including nuclear chromatin, while eosin gives various shades of
red color to acidophilic tissue components such as collagen, cytosol,
musculature and erythrocytes (cf. photo samples below). |
