Basic histological staining methods

The video tutorial by Joao from Kenhub covers common staining techniques used in histology to visualize microscopic anatomy. It explains the use of acidic, basic, and neutral dyes, and details specific staining methods like haematoxylin and eosin, periodic acid-Schiff reaction, silver impregnation, toluidine blue, Masson's trichrome, and osmium tetroxide. Each technique is described with examples of its application in visualizing cellular structures. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of staining in differentiating cell components based on their chemical properties.

How does the silver impregnation technique work and what is it used for?

What are the applications of toluidine blue staining in histology?

Discuss the Masson's trichrome staining technique and its effects on different cellular structures.
