| eosin y | Eosin Ys, the disodium salt of 2',4',5',7'-tetrabromofluorescein. Synonym: acid red 87, eosin yellowish. (05 Mar 2000) |

| eosin yellowish | Eosin Ys, the disodium salt of 2',4',5',7'-tetrabromofluorescein. Synonym: acid red 87, eosin yellowish. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ethyl eosin | See: ethyl eosin. Synonym: alcohol-soluble eosin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alum-haematoxylin | A purple nuclear stain used in histology; a mixture of an aqueous solution of ammonium alum and an alcoholic solution of haematoxylin which is ripened or oxidised to haematein. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Boehmer's haematoxylin | An alum type of haematoxylin in which natural ripening occurs in about 8 to 10 days, and the solution is good for many months. (05 Mar 2000) |
| phosphotungstic acid haematoxylin | A stain with broad application in cytology and histology; nuclei, mitochrondria, fibrin, neuroglial fibrils, and cross-striations of skeletal and cardiac muscle stain blue; cartilage ground substance, bone reticulum, and elastin appear in shades of yellow-orange and brownish red; also useful for demonstrating abnormal or diseased astrocytes, often in combination with periodic acid-Schiff stain and Luxol fast blue. Synonym: Mallory's phosphotungstic acid haematoxylin stain. (05 Mar 2000) |
| haematoxylin | <chemical> Basophilic stain that gives a blue colour (to the nucleus of a cell for example), commonly used in conjunction with eosin that stains the cytoplasm pink or red. Various modifications of haematoxylin have been developed. The histopathologist's H&E is haematoxylin and eosin. (18 Nov 1997) |
| haematoxylin bodies | Poorly defined, homogeneous basophilic remnants of whole nuclei, an occasional finding in the fixed tissues of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, but observed more frequently in the renal glomeruli and the walls of blood vessels, and probably related to the LE phenomenon; so named because of their affinity for haematoxylin stain. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Harris' haematoxylin | An alum type of haematoxylin similar to Delafield's haematoxylin, but which uses chemical ripening to produce oxidation of haematoxylin for immediate use. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Delafield's haematoxylin | An alum type of haematoxylin used in histology; natural ripening takes about 2 months and the solution is good for years. (05 Mar 2000) |
| iron haematoxylin | Unique ferric lakes of haematein that produce deep blue-black stains; useful for studies of cytologic detail, such as chromosomes, spindle fibres, Golgi apparatus, myofibrils, and mitochrondria; also useful to demonstrate Entamoeba histolytica. See: Heidenhain's iron haematoxylin stain, Weigert's iron haematoxylin stain. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Gordon and Sweet stain | <technique> A stain for reticulin, using acidified potassium permanganate, oxalic acid, iron alum, silver nitrate, formaldehyde, gold chloride, and sodium thiosulfate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Abbott's stain | <technique> Spores are stained blue with alkaline methylene blue; bodies of the bacilli become pink with eosin counterstain. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aceto-orcein stain | <technique> A stain used for chromosomes in air-dried or squashed cytologic material. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acid-fast stain | <technique> A staining technique used to determine the cell wall property of a microorganism. After stained with dye such as hot carbolfuschin, an acid-fast organism, (for example Mycobacterium species) will retain the colour in its cell wall after being washed with acid-alcohol.
