Periodic acid Schiff staining is one of the most commonly performed special staining technique in histology to detect the polysaccharides or molecules with high percentage of carbohydrate content such as glycogen and mucosubstances such as glycoproteins, glycolipids and mucins in tissues. Additionally, it is intended to demonstrate lymphocytes in tissues The PAS stain is also used for the detection of fungal organisms in tissue sections.
