The document summarizes the PAS staining technique and Ziehl-Neelsen staining technique for acid-fast bacteria. The PAS stain involves oxidizing carbohydrates using periodic acid, then treating with Schiff's reagent to produce a magenta color. The Ziehl-Neelsen stain takes advantage of mycobacteria's lipid-rich cell wall, using a carbol fuchsin solution which is retained after differentiation in acid or alcohol, allowing visualization of acid-fast bacilli. Both techniques are described in detail, outlining the required solutions and step-by-step procedures.
