al·de·hyde fuch·sin

a stain using basic fuchsin paraldehyde and hydrochloric acid; it produces violet staining of elastic fibers, mast cell granules, gastric chief cells, β cells of the pancreatic islets, and certain hypophyseal β granules; other pituitary granules and cells stain in other colors.

Sections of anterior, mid and posterior intestinal segments were also treated with different staining methods of alcian blue (AB) at pH 2.5, aldehyde fuchsin (AF), periodic acid-Schiff (PAS), KOH/PAS and PAS/AB (pH 2.5) and investigated.
To identify different contents of the goblet cells, the staining methods of alcian blue (AB) at pH 2.5 for acidic glycoconjugates with carboxylated and sulfate esters; aldehyde fuchsin (AF) for glycoconjugates with sulfate; periodic acid (0.5%)-Schiff reagent (PAS) for neutral glycoconjugates; potassium hydroxide/PAS (KOH/PAS) for glycoconjugates with sialic acid residues; and PAS/AB (pH 2.5) to distinguish between neutral and acidic glycoconjugates (Cinar and Senol, 2006) were performed (Presnell et al., 1997).
