MAY AND GRUNWALD’S STAIN FOR MICROSCOPY
May Grunwald-Giemsa (MGG) Stain is used for staining of blood, bone marrow smears and clinical cytological specimens. May Grunwald-Giemsa (MGG) staining method is used for morphological inspection and differential counting of blood cells.
Used in hematology, May Grünwald staining allows the differentiation of different blood cells. Thus, it allows to reveal erythrocytes, basophils, eosinophils, polymorphonuclears, lymphocytes and platelets. May Grünwald's solution stains the acidophilic elements and neutrophilic granulates of leukocytes.
May-Grunwald-Giemsa staining method is used for morphological inspection and differential counting of blood cells. May-Grünwald staining combines the effect of acidic eosin and alkaline methylene blue. Giemsa staining makes effect of azure. This staining stains all cellular components.
Giemsa stain is performed on paraffin sections. It is used to stain the blood cells of hematopoietic tissues. It can also be applied to all tissue sections in which the presence of microorganisms is suspected. Gram + and Gram Bacteria are not differentiated with this staining.
