What is Leishman Stain?

Leishman stain, also known as Leishman’s stain, is a type of the Romanowsky stain, and is similar to Wright Stain. It is also known as eosin-polychrome methylene blue as it is composed of a methanolic mixture of “polychromed” methylene blue (i.e., demethylated into several azure colors) and eosin. The Leishman stain was developed by Scottish pathologist William Boog Leishman.
