ABSTRACT
Natural dyes produce an extraordinary diversity of rich and complex colours as well unexpected results, making them exciting to use. Stains are basically dyes that have been modified for its use in biology. The commonly used hematoxylin stain is obtained from logwood (Haematoxylon campechianum) and is the most important and widely used dye in histology, histochemistry, histopathology and cytology. From the above it is evident that by suitably adjusting the pH, concentration of the extract, addition of the mordant and the duration of the staining protocol can better the results.
