[Histonet] Wright-Geimsa Stain

[Rene J Buesa]

Are you using smears or tissue sections? Imagining you are using the former; eosin color in RBC should vary according with:
1- "age" of the RBC (after losing their nucleus);
2- staining technique (time, fixation and "age" of the solution);
3- type and concentration of eosin.
So I think that you first should create a standard technique (including the one to measure "color intensity") and latter try your idea.
For me it is very interesting why do you want to do this?

I'm doing a project where I'm measuring color differences from histology 
session to histology session.  Not being a histologist, I'm not certain 
whether RBCs can be used as a feature to measure for color change with 
Wright-Giemsa.  I suppose it depends on the Eosin Y concentration, but, 
even at low concentrations, should I see RBCs stained?

Thanks!
