Why do we stain the slide?

Open in App

Solution

Staining is done to visualise the specimen clearly under the microscope. Without staining the specimen under the microscope will look transparent or will not be visible clearly. Hence, staining is done to make the components of cell clearly visible. For example, saffranin is used to stain the nucleus.
