Thionine
Definition:
(n.) An artificial red or violet dyestuff consisting of a complex sulphur derivative of certain aromatic diamines, and obtained as a dark crystalline powder; -- called also phenylene violet.
Example Sentences:
(1) CIN III nuclei in CS and PEC specimen were Thionin-Feulgen stained and digitized.
