Hi everyone,
I've been performing Gomori's reticulin impregnation and never got the results I see in textbooks. The reticulin fibers stain fine, but I get a dark purple/gray background instead of a light pink background. Does anyone know why ? Here is the technique I use : 1) Deparaffinize and rehydrate 2) 0,5% potassium permanganate 1 min 3) Running tapwater 3 min 4) Distilled water 5) 5% Oxalic acid 2 min 6) Running tapwater 3 min 7) Distilled water 8) 2% ammonium iron sulfate 1 min 9) Running tapwater 3 min 10) Distilled water 11) Ammoniacal silver 1 min 12) Distilled water 15 sec 13) 20% Formaldehyde 3 min 14) Running tapwater 3 min 15) Distilled water 16) 0,2% Gold chloride 5 min 17) Distilled water 18) 3% potassium metabisuphite 5 min 19) Distilled water 20) Sodium thiosulfate 1 min 21) Running tapwater 3 min 22) Distilled water 23) 0,1% Nuclear fast red 15 min 24) Distilled water 25) Dehydrate, clear and mount Thanks for your help!
