Abstract
The hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stain is one of the most common stains which is frequently used all over the world for histochemical and histopathological results or observations. Many hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stain protocols are used in the laboratories, but sometimes after following the protocol, the slides do not produce a better visualization, which affects the results massively. H&E staining faults can result from any problems in the key steps fixation, processing, embedding, sectioning, and staining. Also, inaccurate timing of staining, not considering the quality and stability of the stain, not following the protocol can cause damage to the slide and ultimately the result. A respectable number of papers, articles and books are reviewed and several practical protocols are analyzed; therefore, this study is done at the Department of Anatomy and Histology & Department of Pathology in Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh to determine and produce a better copacetic protocol for H&E stain for precise and actual visualization of slide when viewing in light microscope; which will help to render a better slide and produce an accurate result every time.
 
Key Words: Histopathological slide, H&E, Stain, Histopathology and Tissue visualization protocol
