[Histonet] Picrosirius Red Staining of mixed archaeological residues. [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

that everything on the slide picks up the stain to some extent and turns red (pink) when viewed in plane polarised light? This includes seed parts, plant lipids and ochre? Any thoughts or ideas? Thanks Regards Birgitta Stephenson Archaeological Microscopy Research Lab University of Queensland
