Staining
Staining
is an auxiliary technique used in
microscopy
to enhance contrast in the
microscopic
image. Stains and
dyes
are frequently used in
biology
and
medicine
to highlight structures in
biological tissues
for viewing, often with the aid of different
microscopes
. Stains may be used to define and examine bulk tissues (highlighting, for example,
muscle fibers
or
connective tissue
),
cell
populations (classifying different
blood cells
, for instance), or
organelles
within individual cells.
