A Simple Methylene Blue-Azure Ii-Basic Fuchsin Stain for Epoxy-Embedded Tissue Sections

Humphrey, Charles D., Pittman, Fred E.·1974·Stain Technology

Abstract

One micron-thick sections of tissues fixed in glutaraldehyde, or in glutaraldehyde followed by osmium tetroxide, and embedded in a variety of plastic resins were stained in a methylene blue-azure II solution at 65 C, then counterstained in 0.05% basic fuchsin in 2.5% ethanol at room temperature (24 C). Considerable variation was found in methylene blue-azure II staining times for different embedding media. Aged Epon-812 required less staining time than freshly polymerized blocks of Epon-812. The procedure is a simple, rapid staining technique suitable for photomicrography and tissue orientation for electron microscopy.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
