How to visualize a cell palett of a small cell amount?

22 May 2025 0 2K Report

Have you ever seen a small number of cells, 50-100 thousand, after centrifugation as a dry pellet in an Eppendorf tube without a microscope? Are there methods to potentially stain the cells in the suspension so that they can be visible?
