A method of staining, in particular hemalum-eosin (HE) staining, of a histological sample in which the sample is exposed to the action of at least one stain accompanied by application of at least one staining parameter. A staining parameter is defined and the prospectively anticipated outcome of an action of the stain is ascertained and displayed upon application of the defined staining parameter, while the sample is not actually stained. The staining operation accompanied by application of the defined staining parameter may be initiated when a prospective outcome is coincident with a target outcome. Preferably, the staining parameter relates to the intensity, and/or the age, and/or chemical composition, and/or duration, of a stain. An automated stainer 1 may be provided, that has a plurality of containers 3 for the different components of a staining kit, a control apparatus 4, and a screen 5. A staining kit may also be provided, which is associated with a memory medium in which the properties of the staining kit are stored. |
