It is in Ann Preese, us old-timers remember.  0.5% Alc-Iodine.  It is the
only place I could find it.  We use it every day.

 5 gms     Iodine
1000ml    80% alcoh
Dissolve Iodine in 10 to 20 ml of the 80% alcoh.  When dissolved add the
remainder of the alcohol.  We run our slides down on the stainer to 95% alc
then they go into Alc-Iodine for 6-8 min. then wash and finish staining H&E.
The Iodine washes out and you are done.  You do not need the hypo.

Hi Cheryl and all, 

This answer has come up twice, but what is the percentage of iodine in the
70%alcohol IF one can't locate it in a book, etc?

an
