Vital staining

Vital staining is a technique used by scientists and doctors to selectively highlight or identify living cells or tissues using special dyes. These dyes are designed to penetrate only living cells without harming them, allowing a clear view of cellular structures or functions under a microscope. It helps in diagnosing diseases, studying cell behavior, or checking tissue health. Because it targets live cells specifically, vital staining is valuable for observing processes as they happen in real time, without causing damage or death to the cells being examined.
