[Histonet] lipofuscin detection

[Kemlo Rogerson]

It fluoresces brown under ultraviolet light but as with the melanins, there
are many lipofuchsins too. It (lipofuchsin) can be extracted by acetone or
staining prevented by methylation with 0.1N HCL in methanol for 4 to 6 hrs
at 60 degrees C (saponification restores staining, apparently).

People are like stained glass windows: they sparkle and shine when the sun
is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if
there is a light within. --Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
