This makes it difficult, if not impossible, to detect important cellular structures and their distinguishing characteristics without artificially treating specimens. Here, we will focus on the most clinically relevant techniques developed to identify specific microbes, cellular structures, DNA sequences, or indicators of infection in tissue samples, under the microscope.

Acid-fast organisms are characterized by wax-like, nearly impermeable cell walls; they contain mycolic acid and large amounts of fatty acids, waxes, and complex lipids.

Acid-fast organisms retain the primary stain and will appear bright red: non acid-fast organisms are decolorized with acid-alcohol and pick up the methylene blue counterstain. For this reason they are difficult to eliminate from the environment with standard methods of disinfection, and they are difficult to treat in the case of an infection.
