Periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) stain

The periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) stain is a histochemical stain that specifically labels carbohydrate in tissue sections, producing a magenta color as seen in this section of liver.  Histochemical stains are more informative than conventional stains that rely on simple charge, since they localize unique chemical groups, in this case carbohydrate.
