Re: GMS stain on an H&E

From:Nancy E Weber

Hi Michele,

I've done this before at my previous post.  The residents would come up with
all kinds of weird requests.  Cut another slide, if you can, and start
fresh.  Do the GMS procedure first and then instead of the light green
counterstain, counterstain with the H&E.  From the last water step before
the light green go into Hematoxylin instead. Works pretty well.  Hope this
helps.
