Hi, Have you tried a Sirius red (in sturated picric acid) with a Weigart's hamatoxylin for the Nucleii? I usually don't bother counterstaining the nucleii with this stain, but I suppose it would work. You wouuld probably want to do the hematoxylin after the Sirius red since it is an acidic solution and would bleach out the hematoxylin otherwise. While this isn't a Movat's I think it might do the trick for you.

She wants also black nuclei and we tried a Movat's to look at fibrin. The fibrin in the lung is showing up light blue not red! Any suggestions on how to show fibrin distinctly, with black nuclei? thanks!
