Heidenhain Iron Hematoxylin

Heidenhain Iron Haematoxylin is a microscopy stain used to stain cells and tissues red. It was developed in the 1860s by the German anatomist and histologist Heidenhain.

Hematoxylin consists of two components: iron hematein (Fe2+) and guaiacol (C6H4OH). It is used to stain cell nuclei and other structures red, allowing their structure and shape to be seen better.

Heidenhain used hematoxylin to stain tissues and cells in his research. He also developed staining techniques that made it possible to see cell structures better. In 1890, he published his work, “Microscopic Study of Frog Embryos,” in which he described the use of hematoxylin to stain frog embryos.

Hematoxylin is now widely used in microscopic studies for staining various types of cells and tissues. It allows scientists to better see the structure of cells and their functions, which helps scientists study various processes in the body.

Heidenhain, Karl Peter (12.5.1810—23.6.1880), German anatomist, histologist. From 1837 he studied anatomy with S. Purkin in Vienna, then in Paris with J. B. Pasteur (from 1843). Since 1854, professor of anatomy and director of the Natural History Museum in Vienna. Founder of embryology of bivalve mollusks in Europe. In my work I used hematoxylins (from the Greek “he”
