Cresyl violet stain

Cresyl violet stain

The cresyl violet stain a basic dye, is a common stain used in histology. It is also used to find Helicobacter pylori.[1]


Intestinal mucins also take up the stain although not as strongly as campylobacter-like organisms. [2]

Cresyl violet is used to stain the neurons in the brain and spinal cord. It is used to demonstrate the nissl substance in the neurons and cell nuclei. In this role it is also often used as a counterstain to Luxol fast blue, which stains the myelin.
