Nissl Body Stain (Cresyl violet acetate method) Baso Clear Colourful Stains
Testing Principle
Nissl bodies, also known as "chromatophilic substance," are basophilic clumps or granules distributed within the cell bodies or dendrites of neurons, appearing triangular or oval in shape. Nissl bodies can be stained purple or blue by basic dyes such as thionine, cresyl violet, toluidine blue, and methylene blue. The presence or absence of Nissl bodies is an important indicator of whether nerve cells are damaged.
