[Histonet] phalloidin?

[Kathy Cormier]

I just found out what is was last week, so I know what you are thinking...We just used it to stain filamentous actin in our tissue sections. We had a native population of cells that autofluoresced, and wanted to get "fluorescent H and E" to go along w/ it. It worked quite nicely, but it is really really toxic.
