Tissue sections on slides are stained using hematoxylin and eosin on an automated stainer. This is the routine "H&E" stain, which is used on almost all specimens. Hematoxylin, which is blue or purple, stains mostly nuclei, while the pink to orange eosin stains cytoplasm, nucleoli, and extracellular substances like collagen.

After staining, the processor takes the slides through a dehydrating solvent, usually alcohol or acetone, and then into a "clearing agent," either xylene or a citrus-smelling substance called Americlear.

Sometimes it is necessary to supplement the H&E with "special stains" or "immunostains."

RD&E Pathology building

I think I am right in saying that EVERY sinlge patient that comes through the doors at the RD&E has at least one form of sample enter this building.

Then there are of course the countless others form the community.

It is a shame that it looks like something out of 1970's Hospital thriller movie (esp at night time)

I don't think it gets enough love - so join and send the Path building some <3
