hello,
Why do tissue sections stained with an antibody show up dark brown/red? I don't understand why they would be colored. Shouldn't they be clear because antibodies are colorless?
For ex:

I understand the basis behind immunofluorescence and I know why you can get colorful images. If someone could help me understand how the colors in the previous images are produced, I would really appreciate it! Thanks!
