"Nuclear bubbling", manifested as round unstained areas in the nucleus, is
caused by incomplete dehydration of the section before staining. There is a
review on the subject that I cannot find at this moment.René

Traditionally we regard nuclear bubbling as incomplete fixation however I'm not
so sure that nuclear bubbling can't be caused by additional processing
problems. This morning I have some GI biopsies that fixed for nearly 18 hrs
that have a large amount of nuclear bubbling. We run the biopsies on a "short
run". I am wondering if possibly we are not getting rid of all of the water
and therefore our dehydration steps are not long enough?
Anybody have an idea besides incomplete fixation?
