I'm looking for a special stain that would demonstrate neurodegeneration. 
The investigator is suggesting Timms stain which I found in John Kiernan's 
book but I'm dragging my feet on that one because it requires osmium and I 
don't have an adequate hood in this lab to work with osmium.
Is there any alternantive?
Thanks!!
