| Hale's colloidal iron stain | <technique> A stain used to distinguish acid mucopolysaccharides such as hyaluronic acid; may be combined with PAS to also visualise carbohydrate-containing proteins and glycoproteins. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| half-a-gram stain | <technique> A lab technique used to detect the presence of members from the bacterial family Legionellaceae in samples of sputum. (09 Oct 1997) |
| Heidenhain's azan stain | <technique> A technique using azocarmine B or G followed by aniline blue to stain nuclei and erythrocytes red, muscle orange, glia fibrils reddish, mucin blue, and collagen and reticulum dark blue. Origin: azocarmine + aniline blue (05 Mar 2000) |
| Heidenhain's iron haematoxylin stain | <technique> An iron alum haematoxylin stain used for staining muscle striations and mitotic structures blue-black. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Schaeffer-Fulton stain | <technique> A stain for bacterial spores using malachite green and safranin so that bacterial bodies are red to pink and spores are green. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Schmorl's ferric-ferricyanide reduction stain | <technique> A stain to test for reducing substances in tissues, including melanin, argentaffin granules, thyroid colloid, keratin, keratohyalin, and lipofuscin pigments; ferricyanide is converted into ferrocyanide which is converted to insoluble Prussian blue in the presence of ferric ions. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Schmorl's picrothionin stain | <technique> A stain for compact bone which employs thionin and picric acid solutions to produce blue to blue-black staining of bone canaliculi and cells; bone matrix is yellowish and cartilage ground substance is purple. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Schultz stain | <technique> A stain for cholesterol; a relatively specific but insensitive histochemical test for cholesterol and cholesterol esters in which frozen sections of formalin-fixed tissues are oxidised in iron alum, hydrogen peroxide, or sodium iodate, then treated with sulfuric acid to give a blue-green to red colour in a positive reaction; the presence of glycerol inhibits the reaction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Prussian blue stain | <technique> A stain employing acid potassium ferrocyanide to demonstrate iron, as in siderocytes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Hirsch-Peiffer stain | <technique> A stain used for cytologic demonstration staining of metachromatic leukodystrophy; excess sulfatides stain metachromatically (golden brown) with cresyl violet in acetic acid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Hiss' stain | <technique> A stain for demonstrating the capsules of microorganisms, using gentian violet or basic fuchsin followed by a copper sulphate wash. (05 Mar 2000) |
| PTA stain | <technique> The first general stain used for electron microscopy; a selective stain for extracellular components such as elastin, collagen, and basement membrane mucopolysaccharides; it can be followed by uranyl acetate or lead. Synonym: PTA stain. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Holmes' stain | <technique> A silver nitrate staining method for nerve fibres. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Puchtler-Sweat stain | <technique> For basement membranes, a staining method using resorcin-fuchsin and nuclear fast red solutions after Carnoy's fixative; basement membranes are gray to black and nuclei pink to red. For haemoglobin and haemosiderin, a complex staining method in which, on a yellow background, haemoglobin is stained red, haemosiderin blue to green and elastic fibres are pink. (05 Mar 2000) |
| selective stain | <technique> A stain that colours one portion of a tissue or cell exclusively or more deeply than the remaining portions. (05 Mar 2000) |
