The Picro-Sirius Red Stain Kit (For Collagen) is intended for use in the histological visualization of collagen I and III fibers in addition to muscle in tissue sections. The PSR stain may be viewed using standard light microscopy or polarized light resulting in birefringence of the collagen fibers to distinguish between type I and type III.
Light Microscopy
Collagen: Red
Muscle Fibers: Yellow
Cytoplasm: Yellow
Polarized Light Microscopy
Type I (Thick fibers): Yellow-Orange Birefringence
Type III (Thin fibers): Green Birefringence
Picro-Sirius Red Stain Kit (For Cardiac Muscle)
The Picro-Sirius Red Stain Kit (For Cardiac Muscle) is intended for use in the histological visualization of thin septa and collagen fibers. This modification of the Picro-Sirius Red stain eliminates the yellow cytoplasmic staining that can obscure thin collagenous septa. Using this procedure easily allows viewing of collagenous septa as thin as 0.2-0.5 microns. The PSR stain may be viewed using standard light microscopy or polarized light resulting in birefringence of the collagen fibers to distinguish between type I and type III.
Light Microscopy
Collagen: Red
Septa: Red
Cytoplasm: Colorless to Slightly Yellow
Polarized Light Microscopy
Type I (Thick fibers): Yellow-Orange Birefringence
Type III (Thin fibers): Green Birefringence
