[Histonet] Plant histology

[Frank, Matthew]

I use root tip sections fixed in CRAF and stained with Flemming's Triple
stain (Safranin O, Crystal Violet and Orange G).

Xylene, Ethanol changes to hydrate, water rinse, Safranin O 1% aqueous for
1.5 hours, 15-25 secondes with 1% Iodine and 1% KI in 80 % ethanol, 5
minutes in 1%aq crsytal violet, 30 seconds of same iodine solution, rinsed
with 100% ethanol, 0.25 % solution of clove oil for about 5 minutes (be
careful not to take out all of the crystal violet), rinse with xylene, clear
and mount.

Dose any one on the list have any knowledge or experience in plant
histology. 
 Specifically I am trying to demonstrate mitosis in onion roots.  The slides

I have access to are faded and the details are not crisp enough for 
photography.  Any help on processing protocols and staining techniques would
be 
appreciated.
