Fwd: RE: Trichrome staining.
Kathy,
The Masson
I use comes from a student handbook, An Introduction to Modern
Histological Technique by Gairns, Garven, Hale & Morrison (December
1954). This superb handbook was used by staff and students in the
Institute of Physiology, Glasgow University. The original source of
the Masson is not given, in fact looking at the book no references have
been cited. An oversight, but I'm sure at the time the authors would have
known these. Plus, they probably didn't realise the book would still be
in use almost 50 years later. The authors add that a routine haemalum can
be used in place of the Weigert but having used it, it's not so good.
Like Andy Shand I've also got the celestine blue/haematoxylin from
Carleton and by word of mouth. The Masson technique is basically the same
as you'll find in any histological text.
Ian.

Hi Ian,
I am interested in your technique, is it a published one? Will you
share it
with us?
