METHOD FOR STAINING A HISTOLOGICAL SAMPLE, AND AUTOMATED STAINER

摘要

The invention relates inter alia to an automated stainer for staining, in particular for hemalum-eosin (HE) staining, of a histological sample, the automated stainer exposing the sample to the action of at least one stain using at least one staining parameter. The automated stainer is notable for the fact that the automated stainer comprises an input means with which a staining parameter is definable, in particular is inputtable or is selectable from a plurality of possible staining parameters; and that a control apparatus is present which, upon application of the defined staining parameter, ascertains the prospectively expectable outcome of an action and displays it to the user with a display apparatus, before the automated stainer actually stains the sample.

(A) defining a staining parameter to be used in application of a stain to the sample; and (B) ascertaining and displaying a prospective expected outcome of an action of the stain using the staining parameter before the sample is actually stained.
