[Histonet] Special stain for Smooth Muscle Cells

[Rene J Buesa]

Neubert's (1940) is recommended, but a good Masson's trichrome, although not specific for smooth muscle, will show them. It will up to you to recognize the smooth fibers for their location in the subject tissue, and their microscopic characteristics.
Uterus will be a good comparison control.

Thanks to all who responded, but I was not specific.  I am sorry for the
confusion.  What special stain would you use (i.e. Masson Trichrome, PTAH, etc.)
(not IHC)

Thanks, again.
