AFB (Acid-fast bacilli) stain Test: Procedure, Purpose

Myupchar.comDec 30, 2019 · The non-acid fast bacilli lose the stain after decolourising and are stained with non-fluorescent potassium permanganate. They don’t show up under the microscope in the dark. Unlike the ZN stain, this procedure does not involve heating. Mycobacteria stained using the ZN stain are best be viewed under high power lens (x800-1000), whereas the
