PAS does a nice job of outlining smooth muscle cells in cross section, 
might be worth a try. Be advised that it stains the "cell coat" of the 
smooth muscle cell, not the membrane itself. Otherwise, immuno directed 
against a molecule unique to the cell membrane of skeletal muscle cells, 
assuming there is such a marker.
