Bielschowsky-PAS | silver nitrate in dark ammoniacal silver ammonia water add to ammoniacal silver developer ( formaldehyde, nitric acid, citric acid) and place slides in solution ammonia water ->gold chloride-> ammonia water -> sodium thiosulfate periodic acid schiff |
Cresyl Echt Violet Method II | stain for Nissl sbstances has acidic pH restricts the staining to DNA and RNA containing structures |
Cresyl Echt Violet Method II | cresyl echt violet for 8 minutes dehydrate and mount |
Cresyl Echt Violet Method I | Stain for Nissl substances identification of neurons in tissue used to show loss of nissl substances (chromatolysis) |
Cresyl Echt Violet Method I | cresyl echt violet absolute alcohol xylene--> balsam xylene differentiate in absolute alcohol check microscopically repeat until background is clear and nissl substances are well demonstrated |
Nissl Substances | trigoid substance/ chromidal substance basophilic material in cytoplasm of neuron large aggregates of rough endoplasmic reticulum stained sharply with basophilic dyes |
Cajal Stain | for astrocytes |
Weil Method | for Myelin Sheath Myelin Sheath...BLUE TO BLACK background........LIGHT TAN |
Weil Method | staining solution (alcoholic hematoxylin, ferric ammonium sulfate) differentiate in 4% ferric ammonium sulfate until white and gray matter can be distinguished complete differentiation in sodium borate (control microscopically) ammonia water |
