Aldehyde fuchsin! Much simpler than Mallory Azan and very specific. You
will need paraldehyde, a controlled substance, to make this stain.
Alternatively, you can use acetaldehyde but you will need to triple the
amount to get the molar equivalents correct. See "Staining properties of
Aldehyde fuchsin analogues" by Buehner, Nettleton and Longley, J.
Histochem. Cytochem.
27(3):782-787, 1979.

Can I please get some suggestions for histological stains that
demonstrate pancreatic beta cells? I need something that would be highly
specific without using an IHC method.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
