Direct blue, acid fuchsin and chlorazol black E
Mycorrhizal root colonisation. Standard STAINIC form for this method: record the method, quality controls, observations and result against the official basis shown below. Validate the method in your own laboratory and follow local regulations.
Guideline: INVAM University of Kansas. INVAM documents these stains for root preparations. This is an institutional research procedure; the scoring approach must be stated separately.

INVAM University of Kansas. INVAM documents these stains for root preparations. This is an institutional research procedure; the scoring approach must be stated separately.
Speak patient details or findings, e.g. "patient name Ravi Kumar, age 45, mobile 98765 43210, qc: reference colonised root slide and noncolonised root material not run". Or tap the small mic beside any box to fill only that box, then tap the next box's mic. Your browser asks for the microphone only once.

Fill from microscope photo
Hold the phone camera to the eyepiece, use a microscope camera, or upload an image. AI suggests findings; nothing is filled until you tick and accept. Photograph only the smear - no patient labels.

AI differential interpretation
Use AI interpretation in the lab workspace (staff sign-in)Reads the findings you typed, spoke or filled from microscope photos. Decision support only - the verifying pathologist / microbiologist decides.

Smear Camera — teach STAINIC to read Mycorrhiza Root Stains
Snap the smear, film or microscope field with your phone camera, or upload a microscope camera image. Photos help STAINIC learn stain patterns so it can suggest findings in future.
Mobile data / Wi-Fi
Each photo (1-12 MB) is uploaded over your internet connection. On mobile data this uses your data plan and may incur charges; prefer Wi-Fi for many photos.
How AI will use photos
Photos are kept in a separate STAINIC image library (not your storage quota) to build future recognition models. When you tap "Suggest findings", the photo is also sent to an AI model, over the internet, which proposes values; nothing is filled until you tick and accept them.
Disclaimer
Photograph only the smear / film / field — never patient names, labels, faces or documents. Photos are not linked to any patient. AI suggestions are decision-support only and must always be verified by a qualified pathologist; they are not a diagnosis or treatment advice.
