Hi all,
Have just completed a series of stains using the Modified Bielschowsky
stain for neurofibrillary tangles, with great results. I was wondering if
anyone out there in histo-land knows of the significance of the 'evaporated
ammonia' that is called for in the protocol? Have tried using just
standard conc. ammonia, but results were a bit dubious (may have just been
the fickle nature of the silver stain). Not urgent, but any info would be
appreciated.
Cheers.
Aidan
