Histological stains

Basic dyes react with anionic or acidic components in cells. Nucleic acids are acidic, and therefore bind to basic dyes.

Methyl green - stains green

Methylene blue - stains blue

Pyronin G - stains red

Toluidine blue - stains blue

Acidic dyes react with cationic or basic components in cells. Proteins and other components in the cytoplasm are basic, and will bind to acidic dyes.  Another way of saying this is that cytoplasmic proteins are acidophilic (acid liking - i.e. bind to acidic dyes).

Acid fuschin - stains red

Aniline blue - stains blue

Orange G - stains orange
