ALEXANDER's Staining Solution
The ALEXANDER staining solution is a versatile product that is particularly suitable for use in botany. It has a special focus on the study of pollen morphology and terminology. The staining method makes it possible to better distinguish and describe various structures and characteristics of the pollen of these two families.
The ability of the ALEXANDER staining solution to differentially display the exines and intines of the pollen is particularly noteworthy, allowing conclusions to be drawn about the systematic position of the plant species under investigation. The composition of this staining solution includes several components, including distilled aqua, ethanol, glycerol, malachite green, acid fuchsin, orange G, and acetic acid.
Chemically, the advantage of the ALEXANDER staining solution lies in the combination of the different dyes, which together allow differentiated staining of pollen structures. This staining provides important information for the identification of plant species and contributes to the understanding of pollen morphology.
Compared to other staining methods, the ALEXANDER staining solution stands out for its applicability in various fields of botany, especially in the study of pollen. The staining method is relevant for applications in taxonomy, plant ecology and paleoecology and proves to be a valuable tool for botanical research.
