Selective staining with hematoxylin, applications and theory: a review.
The uses of hematoxylin in special histologic staining procedures are outline, with emphasis placed on those methods involving application of the dye in combination with selected metallic mordants. The theoretical basis for the demonstration of various intra- and extracellular components is discussed, and newer generalizations regarding preformed metal-complex dye staining mechanisms are reviewed.
