Using the following search string:  "autometallography mercury pdf", I
found a surfeit of information and protocols on google.  However, the
article by Danscher Journal of Histochemistry and Cytochemistry, Vol.
48, 1503-1510, November 2000 will also be very useful.  You should be
able to download it in PDF form directly since I can't imagine the UC
lacks a subscription.

Good luck,

Subject: [Histonet] stain that binds mercury

Hi everyone,

We have an investigator here that is interested in finding a stain that
will localize mercury in sections of cicadas. Does anyone know of
anything that will bind mercury in tissues? This is all the information
I have at this point.

Thank you for your help and expertise,
