Masson's Trichrome

Masson's Trichrome is a specialized staining technique used in histology to differentiate different tissue components under a microscope. It colors muscle fibers red, collagen and connective tissue blue or green, and cell nuclei dark brown or black. This contrast helps pathologists identify and quantify tissue structures, especially in studying fibrosis, scarring, or tissue organization. By clearly distinguishing between these components, Masson's Trichrome provides valuable insights into tissue health, disease progression, and the effects of injury or treatment in biological and medical research.
