Metachromatic stain
Metachromatic stain is the type of stain that is particularly employed for staining cartilage, connective tissues, epithelial mucins, mast cell granules, and amyloid. This technique entails the use of specific dyes, which differentiate particular substances by staining it with a color that is different from that of the stain itself. Other stains in the choices do not fit the purpose and characteristics of a metachromatic stain.
