What does EOSINE mean in Scrabble?
noun
technicalchemistry
A red synthetic dye used to stain tissue samples and to color textiles.
Eosine is a red dye made by treating fluorescein with bromine, and laboratories use it constantly to stain cell samples for viewing under a microscope, since it colors certain proteins a strong pink or rose red. Textile dyers also use eosine for coloring silk and other fabrics a similar shade. Eosine is simply an alternative spelling of eosin, the more common form of the name in chemistry today. Because it is a laboratory and industrial dye rather than a household word, most people encounter eosine only through a biology class or a dye label.
