Histological findings

H&E Technique (Haematoxylin & Eosin Staining) – Brief Description
The H&E technique is the most widely used histological staining method in pathology.
It helps differentiate structures within tissue so they can be examined under a microscope.
Haematoxylin stains cell nuclei blue-purple, highlighting genetic material and nuclear detail.
Eosin stains the cytoplasm and extracellular proteins pink-red, providing contrast and allowing clear visualisation of tissue architecture.
In Mohs surgery, H&E staining enables rapid and accurate assessment of tumour margins, helping clinicians determine whether all cancer cells have been removed.
