Glycogen
Glycogen can be specifically labeled in histological sections using the periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) histochemical method, which reacts with carbohydrates producing a magenta color. Here, this stain shows accumulations of glycogen granules in the cytoplasm of liver cells (hepatocytes). Individual granules cannot be resolved with the light microscope. Liver, 1000x
