Why do biologists use stains to study cells?

[Edit]

A lot of tissue is the same colour and density: have you ever look at glass under water, it is much the same thing. Staining things makes different things take on colour and they can be seen much more clearly. I believe the first medical staining was done by Doctor Erhlich in working with the tuberculosis bacterium.
