Richard,
My quick and easy test for muscle striations is to check the H&E under
crossed polarizers.
Myosin is birefringent. The birefringence can be intensified by staining
with picric acid, e.g. following a Van Gieson stain.
Regards,
Bryan

Any favourite methods for the above?? I'm aware of Heidenhain's and
Mallory's PTAH.
Many thanks
