Hematoxylin and Eosin

Hematoxylin and Eosin are commonly used dyes in microscopy to examine tissue samples. Hematoxylin stains cell nuclei a deep blue or purple, highlighting genetic material, while Eosin stains the cytoplasm and extracellular structures pink or red. Together, they provide a clear contrast that helps pathologists and researchers identify and analyze different cell types, tissue architecture, and any abnormalities. This staining technique is fundamental in medical diagnostics, as it allows detailed visualization of tissue details under a microscope, aiding in disease detection and research.
