Hi - 
I found a couple of old posts about being able to stain melanin with 1% 
aqueous Azure B.  Can someone shed light on why this isn't seeming to work 
for me?
I'm basically trying to identify a black pigment in FFPE that looks like 
melanin without having to depend on HMB45.  Any takers?

Jackie
