Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The most basic reason that cells are stained is to enhance visualization of the cell or certain cellular components under a microscope. Cells may also be stained to highlight metabolic processes or to differentiate between live and dead cells in a sample.
Detailed explanation-2: -They give the image more contrast and allow cells to be classified according to their shape (morphology).
