| DAB 3,3′-Diaminobenzidine | 3,3′-Diaminobenzidine: a widely used brown chromogen that marks antibody binding in brightfield IHC. | |
| Digital Pathology | Working with scanned whole-slide images on a computer, which makes computational tissue analysis possible. | |
| Hematoxylin | The blue-purple nuclear stain of H&E, and the usual counterstain in brightfield IHC. | |
| Immunofluorescence | Antibodies carrying fluorescent labels make specific proteins glow in tissue. | |
| Immunohistochemistry | Antibody staining revealed by a colored precipitate such as DAB, read in brightfield. | |
