LP40224-5   Microscopic observation
Microscopy is a technique that uses microscopes to examine very small objects, not seen by the naked eye. There are three well-known branches of microscopy: optical, electron and scanning probe microscopy. Copyright Text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License.

LP6381-0   Methenamine silver nitrate stain
Grocott-Gomori's (or Gömöri) methenamine silver stain (GMS) is a popular staining method in histology as a screen for fungal organisms and can be used to identify the yeast-like fungus Pneumocystis jiroveci which causes a form of pneumonia called Pneumocystis Pneumonia (PCP) or Pneumocystosis. The cell walls of these organisms are outlined by the brown to black stain. Source: Regenstrief LOINC, Grocott-Gomori's methenamine silver stain (GMS)
