We use an elastic stain to differentiate intima from the rest of the
arterial wall.  Check out a beautiful demonstration of intimal hyperplasia
using an elastic stain on our welcoming homepage.

Subject: [Histonet] need markers . . .

Do any of you work in research?  I need some ideas on demonstrating
intimal hyperplasia.  At present, we are using H&E and also measuring
intima/media ratios.   Is there some other markers I could use before I
go blind reading these micrographs?!!!!
