Hi All,

I'm not a histotech, so I don't know if this would be the best technique, 
but when I did my residency we preferred a combination of Bodian stain 
(nerve fibers = black) followed by luxol fast blue (stains myelin blue) 
when we really wanted to see nerve fibers well (and to detect 
demyelination).
