HT ASCP STUDY GUIDE TEST.
1. Alcian Blue The demonstration of acid mucopolysaccharides
2. Alcian Blue-PAS To ditterentiate b/w neutral and acidic mucosubstances
detection of intestinal metaplasia
3. Alcian Yellow Alcian yellow is used in histology in conjunction with toluidine blue to help
visualize
H. pylori
The resulting structures are stained as follows
-Mucin: yellow
-H. pylori: blue
-Other cellular components/background: shades of blue
4. Bielschowsky Demonstrate nerve fivers and the presence of neurofibrillary tangles
and senile plaques in Alzheimer disease

, HT ASCP STUDY GUIDE TEST.
5. Carbol‐
fuchsin to detect the presence of acid-fast mycobacteria in tissue sections
(Kinyoun,
Ziehl‐
Neelsen, Fite,
auramine‐
rho- damine)
6. Colloidal Iron Identification of carboxylated and sulfated mucopolysaccharides and
glycoprotein mucin in tissue
7. Congo Red Demonstration of amyloid in tissues
8. Crystal Violet Rapid screening method for amyloid but is not as specific as Congo red
9. Fontana‐Masson The demonstration of argentafln substances such as melanin,
argentafln granules of carcinoid tumors, and some neurosecretory
granules
