The core value of classical histological special staining is to further distinguish structures such as muscle fibers, collagen fibers, elastic fibers, reticular fibers, fibrin, and neuroglial fibers on the basis of HE staining. PTAH, Masson, VG, elastic fiber staining, and reticular fiber ...
Elastic fiber staining is used to visualize elastic fiber structures in the vascular wall, lung tissue, skin, ligaments, and connective tissue. It is a commonly used histochemical method for evaluating arteriosclerosis, aneurysm, emphysema, elastic fiber rupture, elastotic degeneration of skin, ...
Special staining is used to visualize tissue structures, abnormal deposits, and pathogen components that are difficult to distinguish by HE staining. Its advantages include mature methodology, relatively low cost, and intuitive results, making it suitable for fibrosis evaluation, tumor ...
Connective tissue staining is mainly used to distinguish collagen fibers, reticular fibers, elastic fibers, matrix mucopolysaccharides, cartilage matrix, mineralized matrix, and related connective tissue cells.
