Hematoxylin and Eosin Staining
Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining is a common technique used in pathology to visualize tissue samples under a microscope. Hematoxylin stains cell nuclei blue, highlighting the genetic material, while eosin stains other tissue components, like cytoplasm and proteins, pink. This contrasting color combination allows pathologists to examine the structure and organization of cells and tissues, aiding in the diagnosis of diseases, such as cancer. H&E staining is essential in medical research and diagnostics, providing valuable information about the health and condition of tissues.
