What is a function giemsa stain?

It's used to differentiate the different constituent of the blood cell


What is the principle of giemsa stain?

giemsa stains the phosphate group especially in the adenine-thymine rich region.


What is the difference between leishman staining and giemsa staining?

Leishman staining is used for staining blood in microscopy and its purpose is to both identify and differentiate trypanosomas, leucocytes and malaria parasites. Giesma staining is used to stain DNA region, specifically chromosomes in order to locate aberrations like rearrangement and translocations.


What blood cell granules stain bright orange red when you use Wright's stain?

Eosinophils


Why is the gram stain technique more valuable than the simple stain technique in the diagnostic laboratory Under what circumstances might the simple stain be preferable to the gram stain technique?

There are two types of stains, the simple stain and the differential stain. A simple stain colors all objects the same while a differential stain is used to spot differences in microorganisms. A gram stain is a differential stain, which is used to tell the difference in gram negative and gram positive bacteria. A simple stain would stain all the organisms the same and this difference would not be noted. You would be able to determine their shape, whether it is a cocci or bacillus (rod), but not the type. I'm not sure why the simple stain would be preferable unless you just wanted a quick answer as to the shape of the bacteria. In some cases, a wet prep can be made of a presumptive gram positive cocci to tell the difference between bacteria or yeast. Otherwise, I would say that the gram stain is the only way to go.

What is the difference between gram's stain and wright's stain?

Wright's Stain is a mixture of methylene blue and eosin in methanol. Gram's stain is crystal violet, iodine washed with acetone and proofed with a safranin dye to look for gram negative organism.


Why use methanol to fix smear during giemsa staining?

because giemsa stain is a mixture of methyl acetate Eosin and azure b. it doesnot contain any fixative that is why we use methanol to fix smear during giemsa stain other stain like lieshman contain acetyl free methyl alcohol as a fixative so it does not need to fix slide stain with lieshman stain.

What kind of stain use in histology?

It depends on what tissue you're looking at, what you want to stain, how the tissue has been stored... Besides very specific staining, there are different types of staining. For example, immunohistochemistry, which uses antibodies to stick coloured stains to cell surface receptors. Or, chemical staining - the most common is H&E staining (haemotoxylin & eosin), so if you're just having fun in a lab and want to see general structures of cells, use this one.
