The core value of classical histological special staining is to further distinguish structures such as muscle fibers, collagen fibers, elastic fibers, reticular fibers, fibrin, and neuroglial fibers on the basis of HE staining. PTAH, Masson, VG, elastic fiber staining, and reticular fiber ...

Special staining is used to visualize tissue structures, abnormal deposits, and pathogen components that are difficult to distinguish by HE staining. Its advantages include mature methodology, relatively low cost, and intuitive results, making it suitable for fibrosis evaluation, tumor ...
In tissue sections, collagen fibers, muscle fibers, and fibrin may all appear as fibrous, fascicular, cord-like, or reticular structures. In routine hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining, they often show varying degrees of eosinophilic red staining. Their differentiation should be based on tissue ...
