Temperature gradient gel electrophoresis (TGGE) and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) are forms of electrophoresis which use either a temperature or chemical gradient to denature the sample as it moves across an acrylamide gel.
See Staining and Temperature gradient gel electrophoresis

Tissue (biology)
In biology, tissue is an assembly of similar cells and their extracellular matrix from the same embryonic origin that together carry out a specific function.

Transmission electron microscopy
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is a microscopy technique in which a beam of electrons is transmitted through a specimen to form an image. Staining and Transmission electron microscopy are scientific techniques.

Trypan blue
Trypan blue is an azo dye.
Ultraviolet
Ultraviolet (UV) light is electromagnetic radiation of wavelengths of 10–400 nanometers, shorter than that of visible light, but longer than X-rays.
Uranyl acetate
Uranyl acetate is the acetate salt of uranium oxide, a toxic yellow-green powder useful in certain laboratory tests.
See Staining and Uranyl acetate
Uranyl nitrate
Uranyl nitrate is a water-soluble yellow uranium salt with the formula.

Vanadyl sulfate
Vanadyl(IV) sulfate describes a collection of inorganic compounds of vanadium with the formula, VOSO4(H2O)x where 0 ≤ x ≤ 6.
See Staining and Vanadyl sulfate
Virus
A virus is a submicroscopic infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of an organism.
Vital stain
A vital stain in a casual usage may mean a stain that can be applied on living cells without killing them.
White blood cell
White blood cells (scientific name leukocytes), also called immune cells or immunocytes, are cells of the immune system that are involved in protecting the body against both infectious disease and foreign invaders.
See Staining and White blood cell
Wright's stain
Wright's stain is a hematologic stain that facilitates the differentiation of blood cell types.
See Staining and Wright's stain
Ziehl–Neelsen stain
The Ziehl-Neelsen stain, also known as the acid-fast stain, is a bacteriological staining technique used in cytopathology and microbiology to identify acid-fast bacteria under microscopy, particularly members of the Mycobacterium genus. Staining and Ziehl–Neelsen stain are staining dyes.
