Dear Karen,
"One of your investigators"
n= eeds to visit his library. Perhaps even spend $30 of his grant
money= on on a book or two for the lab. His
questions are= not new. They are addressed well
in:
<= BR>Mann, G. (1902) Physiological
Histology. Oxford: Clarendon Press.
Baker, J.R. (1958) Principles
of= Biological Microtechnique. London:
Methuen.
Horobin, R.W. (1982)
Histochemistry. Stuttgart: Fischer.
These are classics in the field of fixation
an= d staining.
There are also very recent
textb= ooks in the field. One of them is by me.
