Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) Staining

Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) staining is a common technique used in medical labs to visualize tissue samples under a microscope. Hematoxylin stains cell nuclei a deep blue or purple, highlighting genetic material. Eosin stains other cell parts and the surrounding tissue pink or red, providing contrast. Together, these stains help pathologists identify and analyze tissue structure, detect abnormalities, and diagnose diseases like cancer. The process enhances the visibility of different cell components, making microscopic examination more informative and precise.
