The imаges belоw shоw а skin biоpsy tаken from a patient that has been stained with haematoxylin and eosin by two different protocols. a) Which sample is the better example of high-quality haematoxylin and eosin staining, and what is the cause of the sub-optimal staining of the other? (2 marks) b) Describe the role of the mordant in haematoxylin staining. (5 marks) c) A section of colon tissue was stained with haematoxylin and eosin. The slides were immersed in haematoxylin for 3 minutes, placed in distilled water for 3 minutes, before immersion in eosin for 30 seconds. When examined under the microscope, the ‘blueing’ of the haematoxylin was poor. Explain why the blueing step had not worked as intended and suggest a modification to the protocol to improve this.
