Histology staining

The most commonly used staining system is called H&E -Haemotoxylin and Eosin.

Eosin is an acidic dye. It stains basic (or acidophilic) structures red or pink.

Haematoxylin can be considered as a basic dye. Haemotoxylin is actually a dye called haematein used in combination with aluminium ions. It is used to stain acidic (or basophilic) structures a purplish-blue.

An example of this stain system is that the nucleus, and parts of the cytoplasm that contain RNA stain up in purplish-blue, and the rest of the cytoplasm stains up in pink.
