What are the staining results for the Prussian Blue Stain?   Hemosiderin (iron) is blue. Nuclei and hemofuchsin is bright red. Background is pink.  
🗑
What is the control used in the Rhodanine stain?   A section containing copper.  
🗑
What is the control used in the Grimelius argyrophil stain?   An argyrophil positive carcinoid tumor is preferred but a section of small intestine may be used.  
🗑
What is the control used in the Fontana Masson stain?   A section of skin for melanin. A section of small intestine or appendix for argentaffin granules.  
🗑
What is the control used in the von Kossa stain?   A section containing calcium.  
🗑
What is the control used in the Bile stain?   A section containing bile.  
🗑
What is the control used in the Prussian Blue stain?   A section containing ferric iron.  
🗑
This method of staining detects ferric ions in loosely bound protein complexes (hemosiderin)?   Prussian Blue for Ferric Iron  
🗑
This stain is cut at 6-8 microns?   Rhodanine for Copper.  
🗑
What is Rhodanine for copper cut at?   6-8 microns.  
🗑
What chemical reagents that causes a reaction with iron, are sections treated with using the Prussian Blue stain?   Potassium Ferocyanide.  
🗑
Using this stain,sections are treated with an acidic solution of potassium ferocyanide?   Prussian Blue.  
🗑
What reagent causes an insoluble bright blue pigment in the Prussian Blue stain?   Potassium Ferocyanide.  
🗑
Abnormally large deposits of what, may be seen in hemochromatosis and hemosiderosis?   Iron.  
🗑
Where in the body is ferric iron normally found in small amounts?   Bone marrow and spleen.  
🗑
Which stain are alcohols preferred as a fixative for?   von Kossa for calcium  
🗑
Which two stains can be fixed with alcohol as well as NBF?   Prussian Blue and von Kossa.  
🗑
Which stain CANNOT be fixed with alcohol and why?   Fontana Masson because alcohol dissolves argentaffin granules.  
🗑
All six stains CAN be fixed in NBF, true or false?   True  
🗑
What does the Prussian Blue stain detect?   Ferric Iron.  
🗑
What does the Fontana Masson stain detect?   Argentaffin substances. (melanin, argentaffin granules of carcinoid tumors and neurosecretory granules)  
🗑
What does the Grimelius Argyrophil stain detect?   Argyrophil granules.  
🗑
What does the Bile stain detect?   Bilirubin.  
🗑
What does the von Kossa stain detect?   Calcium.  
🗑
What does the Rhodanine stain detect?   Copper.  
🗑
The purpose of this stain is for the detection of copper, especially the liver, in Wilson's disease?   Rhodanine Method for copper.  
🗑
This stain identifies calcium?   von Kossa.  
🗑
This stain identifies bilirubin?   Bile stain.  
🗑
This stain identifies argyrophil granules in neurosecretory tumors?   Grimelius Argyrophil  
🗑
This stain demonstrates argentaffin substances?   Fontana Masson  
🗑
Name the three argentaffin substances?   Melanin, argetaffin granules of carcinoid tumors, and neuro-secretory granules.  
🗑
This stain detects ferric iron?   Prussian Blue.  
🗑

🗑
What happens during the Bile stain when bilirubin is oxidized to biliverdinin an acid medium?   A specific and easily identifiable green color develops.  
🗑
The oxidation reaction in the Bile stain is rapidly accomplished by what?   Ferric Chloride in Tri-Chlor-acetic acid.  
🗑
Although the reaction involved is a chemical one, it is an indirect way of decting calcium belongs to what staining principle?   von Kossa.  
🗑
In the von Kossa stain, what two anions of calcium salts does the silver react with primarily?   Carbonate and Phosphate  
🗑
With the von Kossa stain, BLANK reduces the silver salt to BLANK?   BRIGHT LIGHT reduces the silver salt to METALLIC SILVER.
