Study Notes
Microscopy and Staining
- Phase contrast microscopy is particularly useful for looking at living cells.
- Basophilic structures (e.g., nuclei and RNA-rich regions) stain purple-blue with H&E stain.
- Sudan stains are primarily used for staining lipids (fats).
H&E Slide Preparation
- After preservation (fixation), the tissue is dehydrated during the preparation of a routine H&E slide.
- After the tissue is sectioned, it is mounted on a slide during the preparation of a routine H&E slide.
Stains and Dyes
- Sudan stains' primary function is to stain lipids (fats).
- Hematoxylin is a basic dye.
- Eosin is an acid dye.
- H&E stain is used for routine histological examination.
Cell Structure
- The primary component of the cell coat (glycocalyx) is carbohydrates.
