Differential Staining is a staining process which uses more than one chemical stain. Using multiple stains can better differentiate between different microorganisms or structures/cellular components of a single organism.
The differential and cytological staining techniques discussed in this chapter help to differentiate between acid fast and non acid fast cells and to visualize the intracellular constituents of the microbial cells including endospores, capsules, metachromatic granules, and flagella.
