Extra
Acidophils and basophils differ in their staining properties, with acidophils staining pinkish-red and basophils bluish-purple. Chromophobes stain weakly due to their resting or undifferentiated state. Light microscopy cannot differentiate acidophils and basophils; advanced methods like immunohistochemistry or electron microscopy are needed.
