I would love to teach them about histology, but all of the demonstrations need to be done in our conference room (thus, nothing hazardous). Does anyone know of any house-hold dyes (grape juice, food coloring, beet juice, etc) that would stain tissue elements on slides? I would like to bring down some deparaffinized tissues and stain them with something and throw a coverslip on (water-mounted) so that they can look at the tissue with a microscope. I will also bring some already prepared slides (wtih real stains) for them to look at. Any ideas?
