Vital staining is a technique in which harmless dye is used to stain living tissue for microscopic observations. The stain may be injected into a living animal and the stained tissue removed and examined or the living tissue may be removed directly and subsequently stained. Vital stains include trypan blue, vital red and Janus green (where the latter is especially suitable for observing mitochondria).
