[Histonet] MC3T3 Staining Help

[Brandon Reed]

Hello,

I am a student in a cell physiology lab looking at a MC3T3 pre-osteoblastic
cell line with an inverted microscope (phase contrast, bright field, or
fluorescent). I am looking to stain the membrane to quantify a morphological
parameter.  Do you have any suggestions as to what stain I should use and
whether I should fix the cells?

I appreciate your help.
