Tissue ID To Help QC Your Stained Slides

Course overview

The inspection of stained slides requires histology knowledge of which tissue elements should be staining and the correct color of each. Examples: the 3 tones of eosin between RBC, collagen and muscle; a trichrome showing red muscle and blue or green collagen; PAX8 in the kidney tubules; p63 for the basal cells of the prostate. This presentation will review the histology of common tissues received in the pathology laboratory and the correct staining patterns (H&E, special stains, IHC) that should be observed.
