HE Hematoxylin and Eosin stain
Educational only: videos on MedicalVideos.com are for general information and are not medical advice. Always consult your own doctor about your health.
H&E stain is a popular staining method in histology. Its a combination of two dyes: the basic dye (hematoxylin) and the alcohol-based dye (eosin). In an H&E stain you will usually see both eosinophilia and basophilia: the nuclei of cells basophilic (blue), while eosinophilia is typical of cytoplasmic constituents (pink). Xylene, alcohols, distilled water are also required.
