Do you mean like, when you're preparing to view them under a microscope?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To poopsiedoodle, yes. and to aaronq, thanks soooo much for the help! haha

OpenStudy (poopsiedoodle):

Oh. Many samples, particularly cells, can appear quite transparent under the microscope. The internal parts of the cells, the organelles, are so transparent that they are often difficult to see. Biologists have developed a number of stains that help them see the cells and their organelles by adding color to their transparent parts.

thank you!
