Enhancement of natural dye from fruit flesh extract using phosphotungstic acid and ferrous sulphate as mordant / Ain Zafirah Rusadha

Papanicolaou stain is one of the most commonly used stain in cytology and also known as a gold standard stain. Eosin Azure 50 (EA50), which is one of the components in Papanicolaou stain protocol, is a synthetic dye used to give eosinophilic colour to the cytoplasm of the cells. The usage of natural...
