Usefulness of Evaluation of Nuclear Color by Visible-Microscopic Spectroscopy for Objective Differentiation between Non-Cancer and Cancer Cells Prepared Using Liquid-Based Cytology

Visible-microscopic spectroscopy (Vis-MS) is a spectral analysis technique widely used for absorption and fluorometric analyses in the analytical chemistry field. The solvent of most samples of VisMS is an aqueous solution, and only a few studies with materials of histological diagnosis and cytology have been performed. Regarding the staining method used for Vis-MS, studies on Feulgen’s reaction and staining with hematoxylin alone have been performed, but only a few studies have been performed for unstained samples and Papanicolaou staining.
