Hi All - I am trying to figure out if the combination of Sanderson's rapid bone stain and acid fuchsin as the counterstain (or methylene blue + basic fuchsin) results in pink/red staining of biologically formed apatite (apatite not associated with collagen produced by osteoblasts)? An associated question is if the dye-tissue interaction between acid or basic fuchsin and mineralized bone is due to dye-collagen interactions?
If anyone has any experiences or references that may help, please let me know. Thank you for your help, Sheeny _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
