    This document describes several common histological stains and their effects on different tissue components. Haematoxylin and eosin stain nuclei blue, cytoplasm pink/red, collagen pink, muscle pink, and red blood cells orange. Periodic acid-Schiff stains nuclei and muscle fibers blue, cytoplasm and collagen pink, and detects polysaccharides and glycogen. Masson's trichrome stain nuclei blue-black, cytoplasm bright red, collagen green/blue, muscle fibers bright red, and elastic fibers black.
