methylene blue and crystal violet, supravital stains are essential to identify Heinz bodies in G6PD deficiency patients.

There are more but I do know another is brilliant cresyl. Supravital stains stain living cells. It also stains many other types of inclusions along with identifying Hemoglobin H, which is found in alpha thalassemia.

Supravital staining is used in microscopy to examine living cells. The most common supravital stain is performed on reticulocytes which makes it possible to see the reticulofilamentous pattern of ribosomes.
