The aim of this downloadable training resource is to help explain the fundamentals of H&E, or Routine Staining as it’s often termed.

Routine H&E staining plays a critical role in tissue-based diagnosis or research. By coloring otherwise transparent tissue sections, this stain allows highly trained pathologists and researchers to view, under a microscope, tissue morphology. This information is often sufficient to allow a disease diagnosis.
