Safranin is used as the stain while preparing a temporary mount of the stomata in a leaf peel. The leaf peel is carefully peeled off and left in the safranin dye for 2 - 3 minutes, after which it is mounted using glycerin.
Safranin is a biological dye that is used as a counterstain in many cytological and histological experiments. The dye leaves a red colour on the nuclei in the cells, which makes it easy to identify.
