* When this troper worked in a toxicology lab a visiting Channel 4 documentary team (Purdey's Proof - Dispatches) requested that we mix up some coloured solutions in order to make the lab look more 'correct'.
** This is sadly standard practice for TV around the world - if you're in biology or chemistry, even serious news channels demand beakers full of colored liquids in the background during interviews.
* Histology stains can turn cell parts all sorts of different colors, and some stains, like [http://www.leica-microsystems.com/typo3temp/pics/POSTER12_13_13f35bdb07.jpg MOVAT's Pentachrome]{{Dead link}} stain will make you think that you have dropped some acid before heading into the lab. The stains used in the field of histology chemically react with specific cell components and tissue characteristics. This is so that you can turn these structures different colors, making them easier to see for the purpose of microscopic analysis.
