Dalton's Chrome-osmium fix was popular for awhile in the 1950's. You will need to look in an older methods book. The combo of dichromate and osmium will not make your safety officer happy. There are many ways to stain lipids with osmium, alone or mixed with something else. Is this for EM or LM?

I'm trying to find a procedure for staining fat in tissues with osmium
and I think potassium dichromate, does anyone out there have this
protocol available.  I have found it before on the web but for some
reason I can't  find it this time.
