This stain is used to detect and identify acid fast bacilli in tissue. In the histopathology laboratory, the term routine staining refers to the hematoxylin and eosin stain (H&E) that is used routinely with all tissue specimens to reveal the underlying tissue structures and conditions. Eosin is formed by a reaction between bromine and fluorescein. It covers a wide variety of methods that may be used to visualize particular tissue structures, elements, or even microorganisms not identified by H&E staining. Improve quality, reduce errors, and save time with dedicated plug and play consumables. The variety of stains also means that special staining is not as automated as H&E staining. The van Gieson method for elastic fibers provides good contrast.
