Re: Gimenez stain

From:Carla Shoffeitt <histo92@hotmail.com>

Gayle,
  After receiving Mr.Embry's response to my question concerning this stain, 
I was prompted to do some research and I did find this stain listed as a 
stain for h.pylori.  I found it in a book by Lee Luna (HISTOPATHOLOGIC 
METHODS AND COLOR ATLAS OF SPECIAL STAINS AND TISSUE ARTIFACTS),which was 
published in 1992.
