Argentaffine cells

Argentaffine cells (Silver-stained): These are cells stained with hematoxylin and eosin or other dyes that showed silver burn phenomena on the nuclear side. Silver plating occurs due to the combination of dye and silver cations. During the preparation of tissue samples for microscopy, such as epithelial tissue, or when dyes are attempted to be removed after they have been applied, leakage may occur, resulting in abrasion of the nuclei. This is because the dye in the solution mixed during sample preparation could penetrate into the nucleus and accumulate there along with silver cations, sometimes even removing the dye from the nuclear system for a short time. This staining technique can be used to evaluate various cellular components, including the nucleus, cytoplasm, nucleolus, and cytoskeleton. Arg cells
