It is a type of histological stain where ferric haematoxylin is used to stain the nuclei and stained with acid fuchsin and picric acid. Ferric haematoxylin, unlike alum haematoxylin, does not fade on exposure to picric acid. The result of the staining: the nuclei turn dark brown, the collagen fibres turn red and the muscles turn yellow.
