Hi there,

The protocol I was using was basically directly from 'Theory and Practise
of histological Techniques', by Bancroft and Stevens (fourth edition).  It
has several different incubations in the silver solutions, for a total of
35 minutes.  If you don't have access to this (excellent) book, then email
me, and I will post the protocol here, or send it direct to you :)  The
original reference can be found in the journal of Neuropathology and
applied Neurobiology, 1986, 12, 3-9.   Happy staining!

Aidan
