Capsule Stain. The capsule stain employs an acidic stain and a basic stain to detect capsule production. Capsules are formed by organisms such as Klebsiella pneumoniae. Most capsules are composed of polysaccharides, but some are composed of polypeptides. The capsule differs from the slime layer that most bacterial cells produce in that it is a thick, detectable, discrete layer outside the cell wall. Some capsules have well-defined boundaries, and some have fuzzy, trailing edges.
The tissue parts that specifically stain by this dye become blue to bluish-green after staining and are called Alcianophilic (akin to  eosinophilic  or  sudanophilic ). Alcian blue staining can be combined with H&E staining, PAS staining and van Gieson staining methods.Alcian blue can be used to quantitate acidic glycans both in microspectrophotometric quantitation in solution or for staining glycoproteins in polyacrylamide gels or on western blots.or many of these targets it is one of the most widely used cationic dyes for both light and electron microscopy. Use of alcian blue has historically been a popular staining method in histology especially for light microscopy in paraffin embedded sections and in semithin resin sections.
