I don't have access to my library this week, but you can get a good bit information by Googling celestin blue B. This dye was often used as a sort of backup or substitute for hematoxylin, particularly in the old outmoded Pearse stain for pituitary cells. R.D. Lillie as I remember didn't think much of the dye, and I don't think this dye is a very good topic for a study such as the one you describe.
