Histonetters,
I would like to stain a skin section to view nerve fibers, endings or 
corpuscles. 
Are there any specific stains that will pick up these structures in 
paraffin embedded, formalin-fixed tissues? 
One stain I have seen listed is erythrosin B and methylene blue, but I 
haven't seen a protocol for this stain.
Any others? Thanks.
