List,
Searching Amazon.com and other internet booksellers, I find the 5th,
1997 edition of "Humason's Animal Tissue Techniques" to be out of
print, with no new edition indicated.
Is there a 6th edition in the works?
Thanks.
Phil
Phil and all,
The Putt Modification of the Zeihl-Neelsen Stain is reputed to stain
bovine Brucella.
The method is a cold ZN utilising New Fuchsin at room temperature and
then treating with Saturated Aqueous Lithium Carbonate.
The method is in "Animal Tissue Techniques" by Gretchen L. Humason.
Regards, Laurie.

Histomavens,
I've got a project coming in to look at bacteria in the SEM. No
problem, I do that routinely. But, it seems to me that this group
would be better off sectioning their samples and staining the
bacteria.
Except they claim the bugs won't stain.
This is for Brucella melitensis in mouse tails.
Anyone have a good stain for these bacteria? The stain would be done
on sections.
Calcified or decalified better? I don't think that matters to the
study, but it might to the staining.
Thanks!
Phil
