H&E staining. The most commonly used staining system is called H&E (Haemotoxylin and Eosin). H&E contains the two dyes haemotoxylin and eosin. Eosin is an acidic dye: it is negatively charged (general formula for acidic dyes is: Na + dye-). It stains basic (or acidophilic) structures red or pink. This is also sometimes termed 'eosinophilic'.

Rough-endoplasmic reticulum - rER. The outer membrane of the rER is studded with ribosomes. This gives a basophilic staining to cytoplasm in H&E stains (due to the RNA content). The rER plays a major role in protein synthesis. It synthesises secretory proteins, and lysosomal enzymes.
Hematoxylin stains DNA and RNA within cells. It also stains other negatively charged molecules. For example, the sulphated glycoproteins found in mucus and sulphated polysaccharides found in the extracellular matrix of cartilage.
Tissue sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and Masson's trichrome stain. The early phases of wound healing and cellular activities were observed through H&E staining...

7 lip 2022 · Haematoxylin and eosin (H & E): Routine stain. This is the most common histologic stain, used to differentiate different tissue structures. It also plays an important role in the diagnoses of various pathologies. Haematoxylin, is a naturally occurring dye found in Longwood tree wood in Central America.
16 maj 2021 · H &E stain can be classified into three types: progressive, modified progressive, and regressive. Progressive staining takes place without a differentiator for removing any excess dye after adding hematoxylin.
