Summary Introduction

To compare: The stain used for light microscopy and electron microscopy.

Concept introduction: Staining is a method used to enhance the contrast of the specimen to make it visual. It is required to stain the samples prior to the observation for both light and electron microscopy. Light microscopy uses the light as a source of energy to view the specimen but, in electron microscopy, electron energy is utilized to view the specimen.
