Download Science of H&E now! Why Do We Stain? In order to deliver a medical diagnosis, tissues must be examined under a microscope. Once a tissue specimen has been processed by a histology lab and transferred onto a glass slide, it needs to be appropriately stained for microscopic evaluation. This is because unstained tissue lacks contrast: when viewed under the microscope, everything appears in uniform dull grey color. Image What Does "Staining" Do? Contrasts different cells Highlights particular features of interest Illustrates different cell structures Detects infiltrations or deposits in the tissue Detects pathogens Image There are different staining techniques to reveal different structures of the cell Download Science of H&E now!
