Histonetters,

Do you know of any publications that explain the theory and principles of
the Safranin O/Fast Green stain?  I follow the procedure from the AFIP
manual but have been unable to find any additional information.

I am also interested in feedback on fixation of bone specimens.  I work
with rabbit & sheep knees and am currently fixing with 10% formalin and
Surgipath Decalcifier I.  It seems to be working fine but I have been asked
to try different fixation treatments.  Does any one fix bone with something
other that 10% formalin?

Thanks for your help.
