[Histonet] Bouin's vs Davidsons for Testes

[Roger Moretz]

We routinely use Bouin's for fixing testes for
improved cytoplasmic visualization and evaluation of
spermatogenesis.  One of the pathologists has asked
whether one would get similar results using Davidson's
fixative.  I did a search of the HistoArchives but
didn't come up with results that answered the question
(doesn't mean it isn't there and I just plain missed
it--just means I didn't find it!).  Unfortunately
there is no time in which to do the
research/evaluation in-house so I am turning to the
collective wisdom and knowledge of Histonetters for
the answer.
