Product Overview :
Nissl bodies are basophilic granular structures in neuronal cytoplasm composed of rough endoplasmic reticulum and ribosomes. They stain blue-purple with basic dyes such as methylene blue.
This Nissl staining method offers simple operation, stable staining, and broad applicability to paraffin sections. Loss or dissolution of Nissl bodies is a key indicator of neuronal injury in conditions such as encephalitis, ischemia, and axonal reaction.
