Description
Acid fuchsin, C.I. 42685, for microscopy is a laboratory staining dye supplied in a 25 g pack for microscopic applications. Designated by Colour Index number 42685, this acid fuchsin preparation is intended for use in microscopy within microbiological and related laboratory workflows. The product belongs to the LABKEM range from manufacturer Labbox and is offered with a net weight of 0,025 kg, corresponding to the stated 25 g unit. As a microscopy-grade reagent, it supports staining procedures in which selective colouration aids the examination and documentation of specimens under the microscope. The compact 25 g pack size is practical for routine staining protocols in research, teaching and quality-control laboratories that require a defined acid fuchsin under C.I. 42685. Classified among microbiology reagents, the material is positioned for laboratories seeking a straightforward microscopy dye without further formulation claims beyond the stated identity and intended use.
This article belongs on Counting chambers & haemocytometers, in Microscopy & histology.

Questions about Fuchsin acid, C.I. 42685 for microscopy 25 g
What is this article?
Fuchsin acid, C.I. 42685 for microscopy 25 g is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Labbox for laboratory use. It sits in Counting chambers & haemocytometers, inside Microscopy & histology, in Lab instruments.
A counting chamber is a slide with a ruled grid of known depth, so cells in a volume can be counted under a microscope. A haemocytometer is that chamber for blood or for cultured cells. The depth and the ruling are the specification. A scratched grid miscounts.
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.
