The term 'hyaline', (Hel. ''hualinòs'' = glassish) literally refers to a substance with a glass-like appearance.
In common medical histopathological usage, hyaline is a substance with a glassy, pink appearance after haematoxylin and eosin staining—most often an acellular, proteinaceous material. Hyaline cartilage is the clear, shiny ("glass-like") cartilage of articular joints.
In other scientific fields, 'hyaline' may refer a specifically 'colorless' and 'transparent' substance.
