====== Staining ======
 

Staining is an auxiliary [[technique]] used in [[microscopy]] to enhance contrast in the microscopic image.

Laboratory staff and scientists use different mounting techniques, combined with [[dye]]s and [[microbiology]] stains to add contrast to specimens and make them easier to observe at a microscopic level and aid with identification. This is what is known as 'staining' in microbiology.
