bone staining question
From: | "Smith, Erin" <Erin.Smith@smbio.com> |
Good Morning!
I have a question about doing bone histology on GMA embedded mouse proximal
tibia (undecalcified). While these animals were alive, oxytetracycline was
administered sub-cutaneously. The company I contract for wants to see if
the Tet label is visible in the trabecular bone of these tibia. I have cut
the sections (frontal plane) and mounted them on slides, drying in a 140 C
oven.
Do I need to do a light counterstain? Or would that interfere with the
fluorescence of the Tetracycline? Any suggestions would be wonderful.
Thanks,
Erin
--fyi...I will be taking digital photographs of these slides using a
microscope that has a UV lamp.
