Staining of tissuesThe use of dyes is key to view the tissue under the light microscope. After the microtome, the cells and extracellular material are typically transparent and dyes enhance visualization of tissue structures.The dyes applied to stain tissues that were previously set are called non vital stains, such as hematoxylin, eosin, fuchsin, among others.We can also stain cells in culture or cell bodies are still alive; in this case, it is necessary to use dyes called vital that do not cause damage to cells and also does not interfere with cell metabolism. Among them are: the trypan blue, green Janus B, trypan red, methylene blue, neutral red, among others.The automation of this process can be done with Slide Stainers. The model tissue Processor is an apparatus used forroutine staining of animal, plant and human bodytissue. It can be widely used in such institutions ashospitals, scientific research institutes, universities andjudicial departments for clinical pathologic analysis andresearch on animal and plant cells.
