It depends on what tissue you're looking at, what you want to stain, how the tissue has been stored...
Besides very specific staining, there are different types of staining. For example, immunohistochemistry, which uses antibodies to stick coloured stains to cell surface receptors. Or, chemical staining - the most common is H&E staining (haemotoxylin & eosin), so if you're just having fun in a lab and want to see general structures of cells, use this one.
The stain used is called Wrights Stain which is a buffered blood staining solution.
It is a one step hematology stain used for the differential staining of blood smears, bone marrow, and blood parasites. It dates from the 1890's and was originally an alcoholic solution of methylene blue and eosin Y. However, after many modifications today dye samples usually contain mixtures of methylene blue, azure, thionin,eosin and some Giemsa stain.
leishman stain or giemsa stain is used..
both of them are mixtures of eosin and methylene blue.
Methylene blue and eosin
Wright's stain
Sulfuric Acid
Negative stain
The basic H & E stain will colour a cross section and longitudinal section very nicely. There are other stains if your looking stain specifics such as the myeline sheath.
Histologies, would be plural of histology.
Hematoxylin is only the drastic substance that these solutions contain. For histology, the two most commonly used are Mayer's Hematoxylin and Harris' Hematoxylin. They both contain water, hematoxylin and various salts.

It's a basophilic stain that binds easily to basic structures, so it's easy to see outlines because it dyes the cell membrane, glycocalix, nucleus, protein granules, etc.
I would only use stain on a wood model.
Methylene blue stain is used to stain plant and animal cells.
