Safranin O Staining

Safranin O staining is a laboratory technique used mainly in histology to visualize certain structures in biological tissues. The stain highlights specific components, such as cell walls and certain proteins, allowing researchers to see and differentiate between various cell types and structures under a microscope. This method is particularly useful for studying cartilage, bacteria, and certain fungi, as it helps to identify characteristics that may be important for diagnosis or research. By adding this dye, scientists gain clearer images and insights into the microscopic world of cells and tissues.
