| Mallory's aniline blue stain | <technique> A method especially suitable for studying connective tissue; sections are stained in acid fuchsin, aniline blue-orange G solution, and phosphotungstic acid; fibrils of collagen are blue, fibroglia, neuroglia, and muscle fibres are red, and fibrils of elastin are pink or yellow. Synonym: Mallory's aniline blue stain, Mallory's triple stain. (05 Mar 2000) |

| Mann's methyl blue-eosin stain | <technique> A stain useful for anterior pituitary and viral inclusion bodies; a mixture of the two dyes stains alpha cell granules red, beta cell granules dark blue, chromophobes gray to pink, colloid red, erythrocytes orange-red, and collagen fibres blue; this method is also useful for enterochromaffin, goblet, Paneth, and pancreatic islet cells; Negri bodies appear red while their nuclei and central granules are blue.

| patent blue V | A sulfonated triphenylmethane dye reduced and decolorised with zinc and acetic acid to produce a stable solution; used to demonstrate haemoglobin peroxidase. Synonym: patent blue V. (05 Mar 2000) |
| celestine blue B | A dye recommended as a substitute for haematoxylin when it is unavailable. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cellular blue nevus | A large, acquired blue nevus in which melanocytes are often clear and large, alternating with pigmented spindle cells and which may expand deeply into the subcutis; malignant change is very rare. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rhodanile blue | A dye mixture, considered by some to be a salt of rhodamine B and Nile blue, used to stain keratinised epithelium (red) and fibroblasts (blue), as well as spermatozoa and normal and pathologic acidophilic, basophilic, and certain neutrophilic elements of cells and tissues; used as a substitute for haematoxylin and eosin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Perls' Prussian blue stain | <technique> A stain for ferric iron as in haemosiderins, using potassium ferrocyanide in acetic acid or dilute hydrochloric acid followed by a red counterstain such as safranin O or neutral red; various haemosiderins and most mineral irons give a blue-green reaction, while nuclei stain red. (05 Mar 2000) |
