4 Major Step of the Pap Stain: 1. Fixation 2. Nuclear staining 3. Cytoplasmic staining 4. clearing What is the point of the process of fixation in the progressive pap stain? To "fix" the cells; halt all cellular process What is the purpose of hydration in the progressive pap stain? To prepare the cells for the uptake of the water-base (aqueous) nuclear dye What are the solvent, mordant, and acidifying agent of hematoxylin? solvent: ethylene glycol and DI water mord...
