Bonjour, I think a Luxol Fast Blue is the standard for visualizing the myelin sheath. Here's a free tip; leave your slides in the LFB stain overnight, instead of the shorter time specified in most protocols. You're going to decolorize them anyway. Decolorize the slides until you don't see the stain run off anymore. You get a really brilliant LFB this way. The Pathologists I've worked with love it. Comment dit on "myelin sheath" en Francaise?
