Field's stain

Field's stain

Field's stain is a histological method for staining of blood smears. It is used for staining thin blood films in order to discover malarial parasites. Field's stain is a version of a Romanowsky stain, used for rapid processing of the specimens.

Field's stain uses methylene blue and Azure 1 dissolved in phosphate buffer solution, and Eosin Y in buffer solution.
