Best Answer

Staining is done to help determine what the sample is. It makes it visible under a microscope and it gives some information about the structure of the cell. A positive Gram stain means that the cell has a thick peptidoglycan layer.

Diff between progressive staining and regressive staining?

REGRESSIVE STAINING. In a regressive stain, the tissue is first over stained and then partially decolorized. Differentiation is usually controlled visually by examination with a microscope. When regressive staining is employed, a sharper degree of differentiation is obtained than with progressive staining .PROGRESSIVE STAINING. In progressive staining, once the dye is taken up by the tissue it is not removed. Differentiation in progressive staining relies solely on the selective affinity of dyes for different tissue elements. The tissue is left in the dye solution only until it retains the desired amount of coloration.
