[Histonet] staining for iron in microglia

[Sharon Cooperman]

Dear Histonetters,

I have a semi-scientific question:  macrophages in almost all tissues 
can be stained for iron with Perl's stain to give a blue color - is 
this also true for microglia?  If not, is there any other way to see 
how much iron is in microglia (DAB enhanced Perl's or some other 
method)?

Thanks,
Sharon
