[Histonet] Tolivia and Navarro Epoxy Staining Procedure

[Shanon Pink]

Hello All,

Has anyone out there tried the staining procedure described in the
paper "Polychromatic staining of epoxy semithin sections: a new and
simple method," from 1994, by Tolivia, Navarro, and Tolivia? I would
like to try it out on some thick sections embedded in Epon, but I
can't find any carbol methylene blue and wondered about possible
substitutions.

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer!
