Histology reagents & consumables

Histology reagents are the fixatives, the solvents, the paraffins and the stains that turn a tissue into a readable section. The stain and the tissue, not the bottle size alone, choose the reagent. Many of these liquids are flammable or toxic and travel under dangerous-goods rules.

A light microscope forms an image with glass lenses and transmitted or reflected light. A stereo microscope is the lower-magnification instrument for dissecting and for looking at a surface. Fluorescence needs a light source and filters matched to the dye. Histology is the preparation that makes a tissue readable: fixation, a cassette, a section, a stain. The objective's magnification and numerical aperture decide the resolution. The slide and the cover glass decide whether the section sits in the focal plane. Stains and dyes as substances are identified on PubChem. Papers on the methods are on PubMed.
