Cell staining

Cell staining is a laboratory technique used to highlight specific parts or components within cells by applying dyes or chemical dyes. These stains bind to particular structures, such as the nucleus or other organelles, making them visible under a microscope. This process helps scientists and doctors observe cell features, identify abnormalities, or diagnose diseases. Different stains are used for different purposes, allowing detailed examination of cell structure and function. Overall, cell staining transforms transparent cells into colorful, detailed images, facilitating understanding of cellular composition and health.
