  Hi everyone,
I would like to ask if anyone knows why amyloid on Congo Red stain would
birefringe as a orange-yellow color instead of apple green?  We are using
the same procedure that we have used for years.  Our procedure is a Puchtler
Modification.  If anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate hearing from you.
Thanks in advance.
