[Histonet] Hematoxylin Puris

[Lee & Peggy Wenk]

For entamoeba histolytica - how about the PASH stain? This parasite has a
glycogen store in it, if I remember correctly.

Also - Gomori trichrome and Masson trichrome demonstrate this parasite.

Most labs have these three stains around. No need to make a new staining
solution. (And if memory serves me correctly, the Heidenhain hematoxylin
needs to be ripened for at least 1 month before use.)
