[Histonet] Re: Stain to ID eosinophils specifically

Hi Colleen,

In my Vet Tech training we did blood smears stained with Wright stain. The eosinophils were clearly seen and differentially stained from the neutrophils and basophils. Knowing this, I would probably try a Diff-Quick or Giemsa stain, paying close attention to differentiation steps.
