Question

In microscopy, a nucleus is normally stained using

• A. Neutral red
• B. Janus green B
• C. Eosin
• D. Hematoxylin

Answer 1

The correct option is D Hematoxylin

• In microscopy, staining can be used to differentiate easily between cell structures and tissues.
• Hematoxylin stains the nucleus blue to violet color.
• eosin stains the cytoplasm pink. Janus Green B is used in the staining mitochondria, and Neutral red is used as a general stain and a pH indicator.
• Hence In microscopy, a nucleus is normally stained using Hematotoxin because it helps to differentiate the nucleus from other cell structures and tissues.
• So, the correct answer is 'Hematoxylin'.
