Romanowsky Stain
Romanowsky staining is a prototypical staining technique that was the forerunner of several distinct but similar methods, including Giemsa, Jenner, Wright, Field, and Leishman stains, which are used to differentiate cells in pathologic specimens. It was named after the Russian Physician, Dmitri Leonidovich Romanowsky (1861 – 1921), who invented it in 1891.

To stain the altar of the goddess,
To hold her girl-throat
Toward the knife-thrust.”
