Basically, no. Assuming a standard H&E stain, Serous cells will stain darker, and appear much more granular as their secretions contain large quantities of enzymes (namely Lysozome), hence you will also find the serous cells also contain large quantities or Rough ER, required for protein (enzyme) manufacture. Mucous cells secrete mucin, which has a large water carrying ability, and so you will find mucous cells (such as goblet cells, or mucous cells of the sublingual gland) stain much clearer in comparison to serous cells. A good histological comparison of these different cell types can be made by looking up a couple of the salivary glands. A parotid gland, which will have large numbers of serous cells (heavily stained), and also a few adipocytes dotted about the place (these will be stained VERY clear). A sublingual gland will have large numbers of mucous cells, and just a few serous cells dotted about the place. If you then look at a submandubular gland, this would be good for comparison, once you've got the hang of what the different cells types look like, as this gland has a fairly even mix of serous and mucous cells. If you don't have access to a microscope and prepared stained sections, then there's plenty of images on the web, or in Histology text books. Hope this helps. Will UK Medical Student
What else can I help you with?
Is it mucus or mucous secretion?
== == The secretion itself is spelled "mucus". The membranes that secrete mucus are called the "mucous membranes", hence the difference in the two spellings. It *is* confusing since they are both pronounced the same way.
Would methylene blue stain be substituted for safranin as the counter stain in this procedure?
Methylene blue is a stain used in microbiology. The dye attaches to the object, which allows what would normally be fairly see-through to be visible to the microscope.
How does a gram variable organisms appear under the microscope?
Gram-variable organisms can appear inconsistently colored under a microscope after a Gram stain procedure. Some cells may take up the crystal violet stain and appear purple (Gram-positive), while others may not retain the stain and appear pink (Gram-negative) after the counterstain (safranin) is applied. This variability can be due to differences in cell wall structure or damage to the cells. Consequently, a mixed population of purple and pink cells can be observed in the same sample.
What is an orthochromic stain?
An orthochromic stain is a histological stain used to color specific elements of cells or tissues in microscopy. It typically stains components such as erythrocytes or granules containing hemoglobin in shades of pink or red. These stains are useful for distinguishing different cell types or structures.
I am wondering Hematoxylin stain and Harris Hematoxylin stain are the same thing or not ie. Papanicolaou stain includes Harris Hematoxylin stain and H and E stain includes Hematoxylin stain thanks?
Hematoxylin is only the drastic substance that these solutions contain. For histology, the two most commonly used are Mayer's Hematoxylin and Harris' Hematoxylin. They both contain water, hematoxylin and various salts.
The layer of the heart that is the same as the cardiac serous membrane is?
epicardium

How are peritoneum and pleura the same?
both are the covering of the organs with serous fluids within their layers
What are the differences between a Gram stain and a simple stain?
A Gram stain is a type of differential stain that can differentiate between two major groups of bacteria based on their cell wall composition (Gram-positive and Gram-negative). It involves multiple steps and uses crystal violet and safranin dyes. On the other hand, a simple stain is a basic staining technique that uses only one type of dye to color all bacteria cells the same color. It is used to visualize the overall shape, size, and arrangement of bacteria cells.
Would methylene blue stain be substituted for safranin as the counter stain in this procedure?
Methylene blue is a stain used in microbiology. The dye attaches to the object, which allows what would normally be fairly see-through to be visible to the microscope.
Which is better alkyd stain or oil based stain?
There is no difference. They are one in the same.
What types of cells have cilla?
The cells lining the intestinal tract. These produce more surface area so that you can absorb nutrients. Also the same sort of cells line the respiratory tract, these move mucous which has trapped debris. You can swallow and destroy the debris. These some times get over burdened with colds.
Is coffee a true biological stain?
The difference between a biological stain and a compound imparting color is more one of use rather than effect. Both impart color, but a biological stain imparts color to a feature that we want to look at, like the nucleus of a cell, cell walls, fat cells, disease cells, etc. If we spilled, say prussian blue on a lab coat, it would be the same as a coffee stain, but applied to a sample of bone marrow, it detects the presence of iron.

Can I apply an oil-based stain over a water-based stain?
No, you should not apply an oil-based stain over a water-based stain as they are not compatible and may not adhere properly. It is recommended to stick with the same type of stain for best results.
Can you apply oil-based stain over water-based stain?
No, it is not recommended to apply oil-based stain over water-based stain as they are not compatible and may not adhere properly. It is best to stick with the same type of stain for consistent results.
