The present invention relates to the analysis of cytological material. Specifically, the invention relates to stains and methods of producing the stains, methods of staining cells for cytological or histological analysis to contrast the nuclear portion of the cell from the cytoplasmic portion, and systems and methods for illuminating a cytological sample. The analysis can be automated or manual. La présente invention concerne l'analyse de matière cytologique. Plus particulièrement, l'invention concerne des colorations et des procédés de réalisation de ces colorations, des procédés de coloration de cellules pour l'analyse cytologique ou histologique en vue de différencier la partie nucléique de la cellule de la partie cytoplasmique, et des systèmes et procédés d'éclairage d'un échantillon cytologique. L'analyse peut être automatique ou manuelle.
