Three-reagent kit for staining histological sections of myocardial infarction
Hematoxylin - Basic Fuchsin - Picric Acid
Histological diagnosis of ischemia in early phase or myocardial infarction using the standard hematoxylin-eosin histological methods and light microscope is exceptionally delicate. The reason for that are minimal histopathological changes occurring on the cardiac muscle during the first six hours of symptoms.
However, staining the section using the kit consisting of hematoxylin, basic fuchsin and picric acid enables a histological overview of early changes on the cardiac muscle caused by ischemia or myocardial infarction.
Result
Ischemic cardiac muscle, erythrocytes and collagen muscle - crimson red
Nuclei - blue
The rest of the tissues and structures - yellow
