Hi @kasthuri,  
Another post discusses histological data resources, including those for human brain:

> The Allen Brain Map includes comprehensive data related to gene expression and anatomy across the mammalian brain. Accompanying the quantitative data for tissue- and cell-specific gene expression by mRNA detection, qualitative immunohistochemistry and histological stain data is also available. These assays provider richer context for anatomical analysis – and often they are really beautiful! Some example data featuring histology is linked below. At this time, we do not have plans to add any a…

The [Allen Human Brain Atlas](http://human.brain-map.org/) has histological stains integrated with samples profiled by microarray analysis, and the [Allen Cell Types Database](http://celltypes.brain-map.org/) also has histological data from multiple human brain samples, as subdivided tissue. This data is available if you click on the ‘Donor’ ID (first column) of the data site, [here](http://celltypes.brain-map.org/donors). A number of professional companies offer H&E staining services, and may have more information about whole human brain references (other than what you will find in print-based atlases). Good luck!
