Eosin Y water solution is widely used in biological staining, particularly in histology and cytology, to highlight cellular structures under a microscope. It is a common component of the H&E (hematoxylin and eosin) staining method, where it colors cytoplasm, collagen, and muscle fibers in shades of pink or red, providing contrast to hematoxylin-stained nuclei. In microbiology, it aids in differentiating cell types and identifying tissue abnormalities. Additionally, it is utilized in fluorescence microscopy as a fluorescent dye for specific labeling applications. Beyond microscopy, Eosin Y water solution is employed in ink formulations, cosmetics, and as a pH indicator due to its color-changing properties in different pH environments.
