Acrosome

The acrosome is an organelle that develops over the anterior (front) half of the head in the spermatozoa (sperm cells) of humans, and many other animals.

See Diff-Quik and Acrosome

Azure A

Azure A is an organic compound with the chemical formula C14H14ClN3S.

See Diff-Quik and Azure A

Bacteria

Bacteria (bacterium) are ubiquitous, mostly free-living organisms often consisting of one biological cell.

See Diff-Quik and Bacteria

Basophil

Basophils are a type of white blood cell.

See Diff-Quik and Basophil

Basophilic

Basophilic is a technical term used by pathologists.

See Diff-Quik and Basophilic

A blood smear, peripheral blood smear or blood film is a thin layer of blood smeared on a glass microscope slide and then stained in such a way as to allow the various blood cells to be examined microscopically.

See Diff-Quik and Blood smear

Body fluid

Body fluids, bodily fluids, or biofluids, sometimes body liquids, are liquids within the body of an organism.

See Diff-Quik and Body fluid

Bone marrow

Bone marrow is a semi-solid tissue found within the spongy (also known as cancellous) portions of bones.

See Diff-Quik and Bone marrow

Buffer solution

A buffer solution is a solution where the pH does not change significantly on dilution or if an acid or base is added at constant temperature.

See Diff-Quik and Buffer solution

Cerebrospinal fluid

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear, colorless body fluid found within the tissue that surrounds the brain and spinal cord of all vertebrates.

See Diff-Quik and Cerebrospinal fluid

Collagen

Collagen is the main structural protein in the extracellular matrix of a body's various connective tissues.

See Diff-Quik and Collagen

Cytopathology

Cytopathology (from Greek κύτος, kytos, "a hollow"; πάθος, pathos, "fate, harm"; and -λογία, -logia) is a branch of pathology that studies and diagnoses diseases on the cellular level. Diff-Quik and Cytopathology are Histopathology.

See Diff-Quik and Cytopathology

Cytoplasm

In cell biology, the cytoplasm describes all material within a eukaryotic cell, enclosed by the cell membrane, except for the cell nucleus.

See Diff-Quik and Cytoplasm

Cytotechnology

Cytotechnology is the microscopic interpretation of cells to detect cancer and other abnormalities.

See Diff-Quik and Cytotechnology

Eosin Y

Eosin Y, also called C.I. 45380 or C.I. Acid Red 87, is a member of the triarylmethane dyes. Diff-Quik and Eosin Y are staining.

See Diff-Quik and Eosin Y

Eosinophil

Eosinophils, sometimes called eosinophiles or, less commonly, acidophils, are a variety of white blood cells and one of the immune system components responsible for combating multicellular parasites and certain infections in vertebrates. Along with mast cells and basophils, they also control mechanisms associated with allergy and asthma.

See Diff-Quik and Eosinophil

Eosinophilic

Eosinophilic (Greek suffix -phil-, meaning loves eosin) is the staining of tissues, cells, or organelles after they have been washed with eosin, a dye.

See Diff-Quik and Eosinophilic

Fine-needle aspiration

Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is a diagnostic procedure used to investigate lumps or masses. Diff-Quik and Fine-needle aspiration are cytopathology.

See Diff-Quik and Fine-needle aspiration

Fixation (histology)

In the fields of histology, pathology, and cell biology, fixation is the preservation of biological tissues from decay due to autolysis or putrefaction.

See Diff-Quik and Fixation (histology)

Fungus

A fungus (fungi or funguses) is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms.

See Diff-Quik and Fungus

Ground substance

Ground substance is an amorphous gel-like substance in the extracellular space of animals that contains all components of the extracellular matrix (ECM) except for fibrous materials such as collagen and elastin.

See Diff-Quik and Ground substance

Helicobacter pylori

Helicobacter pylori, previously known as Campylobacter pylori, is a gram-negative, flagellated, helical bacterium.

See Diff-Quik and Helicobacter pylori

Metachromasia (var. metachromasy) is a characteristical change in the color of staining carried out in biological tissues, exhibited by certain dyes when they bind to particular substances present in these tissues, called chromotropes.

See Diff-Quik and Metachromasia

Methanol

Methanol (also called methyl alcohol and wood spirit, amongst other names) is an organic chemical compound and the simplest aliphatic alcohol, with the chemical formula (a methyl group linked to a hydroxyl group, often abbreviated as MeOH).

See Diff-Quik and Methanol

Methylene blue

Methylthioninium chloride, commonly called methylene blue, is a salt used as a dye and as a medication.

See Diff-Quik and Methylene blue

Monocyte

Monocytes are a type of leukocyte or white blood cell.

See Diff-Quik and Monocyte

Mucin

Mucins are a family of high molecular weight, heavily glycosylated proteins (glycoconjugates) produced by epithelial tissues in most animals.

See Diff-Quik and Mucin

Muscle

Muscle is a soft tissue, one of the four basic types of animal tissue.

See Diff-Quik and Muscle

Neoplasm

A neoplasm is a type of abnormal and excessive growth of tissue.

See Diff-Quik and Neoplasm

Neutrophil

Neutrophils (also known as neutrocytes, heterophils or polymorphonuclear leukocytes) are a type of white blood cell.

See Diff-Quik and Neutrophil

Papanicolaou stain

Papanicolaou stain (also Papanicolaou's stain and Pap stain) is a multichromatic (multicolored) cytological staining technique developed by George Papanicolaou in 1942. Diff-Quik and Papanicolaou stain are cytopathology, Histopathology and staining.

See Diff-Quik and Papanicolaou stain

Pathology

Pathology is the study of disease and injury.

See Diff-Quik and Pathology

Platelet

Platelets or thrombocytes are a blood component whose function (along with the coagulation factors) is to react to bleeding from blood vessel injury by clumping, thereby initiating a blood clot.

See Diff-Quik and Platelet

Red blood cell

Red blood cells (RBCs), referred to as erythrocytes (with -cyte translated as 'cell' in modern usage) in academia and medical publishing, also known as red cells, erythroid cells, and rarely haematids, are the most common type of blood cell and the vertebrate's principal means of delivering oxygen to the body tissues—via blood flow through the circulatory system.

See Diff-Quik and Red blood cell

Romanowsky stain

Romanowsky staining is a prototypical staining technique that was the forerunner of several distinct but similar stains widely used in hematology (the study of blood) and cytopathology (the study of diseased cells). Diff-Quik and Romanowsky stain are cytopathology, Hematopathology, Romanowsky stains and staining.
