German to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical (general) / Histology/pathology
German term or phrase: BI
This is from part of a medical report on histology/pathology:

Makroscopie
1. (Antrum) ein Partikel.
2. (Corpus) ein Partikel. (2 BI, kR, PAS, 2% Giemsa).

I presume this refers to a type of stain but I'm not sure what BI stands for here.

Block


Explanation:
It seems to fit (if this says BL rather than Bi in the source).
BL is given as an abbreviation for Block in Beckers Medizinische Abkürzungen.
(See earlier comments).

Otherwise it could stand for biopsy or possibly a specific type of cassette (could not find anything online though).

Brilliant indigo

I wasn’t able to find much convincing evidence though
