A reticulin stain would be used to highlight reticular fibers in tissues, particularly in histology studies of organs like the liver or bone marrow. It is commonly used to demonstrate the presence of these fine, delicate fibers that form a supportive network in certain tissues.
The stain would stain the cells rather than the background
By definition, a supravital stain is used to demonstrate the in vivo vital processes of cells that have been removed from the body. Supravital stains (New Methylene Blue N; Brilliant Cresyl Blue) are used in particular to stain reticulocytes for a manual retic count. Reticulocytes are immature RBC's released early from the bone marrow in response to anemia. Using Brilliant Cresyl Blue, the reticulocytes will show a "reticular" (mesh-like) network of residual rRNA that has not yet been extruded from the cell. Any RBC can be seen on a supravital stain, supravital stains are used to identify Heinz bodies in cases of G6PD deficiency anemia
which stain is used to colour chromosomes
Iodine stain is commonly used to detect amyloplasts due to their ability to stain starch granules purple-black.

Lavender (EDTA) tube is commonly used for reticulocyte count.
The stain would stain the cells rather than the background
The counter or secondary stain used in the Gram stain procedure is safranin.
Depends if heat is used
The counter or secondary stain used in the acid-fast stain technique is methylene blue.

The Gram stain
Wright's stain is a Romanowsky stain used in medical laboratories to differentiate blood cells for microscopy. Other stains used for blood cell differentiation include Giemsa stain, Leishman stain, and Hematoxylin and eosin stain. Each stain has specific applications and staining properties.
