[Histonet] basement membranes

[Lee & Peggy Wenk]

Electron Microscope.

Even if you did a periodic acid-methenamine silver stain (PASM, Jones), 
which in my opinion is the best histology stain, since it is a silver stain, 
you can get different thicknesses of basement membrane (bm) by leaving it in 
longer or shorter than is optimal for that patient's bm thickness.

Best  technique, tinctorial or otherwise of identifying, with a  view to 
measuring their width, many  thanks.
