Carbol Fuchsin Stain: Essential Technique For Identifying Acid-Fast Bacteria
Carbol fuchsin stain, a crucial tool in microbiology, plays a vital role in visualizing and identifying bacteria, particularly acid-fast organisms like Mycobacteria. Carbol fuchsin, composed of basic fuchsin and phenol, selectively penetrates the thick cell walls of acid-fast organisms and retains the dye during the decolorization process, making them appear bright red. The Ziehl-Neelsen procedure, …
