The Congo red stain should take 1 h 30 min to complete. The timeline for image analysis depends on the number of samples. It is estimated that 30 images can be collected in 1 h and analysis of ...

Traditionally, Congo red staining under polarized light microscopy has been the gold standard for visualizing amyloid deposits. However, this method is labor-intensive, costly, and subject to ...

The structure of the β-pleated sheet allows binding of Congo red stain, which emits a characteristic apple-green birefringence under polarized light.

Light microscopy with the May-Grunewald Giemsa stain is enhanced, as necessary, by the use of special stains, such as Congo red for amyloid, Perl's for iron, Periodic Acid-Schiff for ...

Amyloid fibrils are rigid, linear, and nonbranching and measure approximately 7.5 to 10 nm in width. 1 The structure of the β-pleated sheet allows the binding of Congo red stain, which emits a ...
