You should also look in the Histonet archives for this, there were
several 
discussions in 1999, 2002 and 2003.

The Muller/Mowry's or Mowry's modification of Hales should work, and is 
found in Frieda Carsons book.

This was posted on Histonet in 2002 and found in Histonet Archives

 > Greetings, Netters.>
 > Does anyone have a copy of Hale's method for colloidal iron?  My
pathologist has asked for it specifically, probably because it is cited
in the
literature for differentiation of chromophobe RCC.
