Hi Dan,

We use a drop of mercurochrome solution to colour our small biopsies -
doesn't affect any staining either.

Dear friends

Can someone advice how we can color tiny biopsies for the purpose seeing
them clearly on embedding and cutting sections. We need a method without
compromising the subsequent IMP and special stains?
