Eosin

Description

A red crystalline dye composed of the Potassium, Sodium, or Lead salt of tetrabromofluorescein. First discovered by Caro in 1871, eosin is primarily used as an acid dye for producing a blood red color in Silk, Wool, Paper, Leather, and Cotton. It is also used as a histological stain, a cosmetic colorant, and a colorant in red inks. In the late 19th and early 20th century, eosin was also used as a red paint pigment. Alcoholic solutions have a strong green Autofluorescence. Eosin is not permanent and fades rapidly in sunlight.
