Hi Tammy:/

    p/-phenlyenediamine is a reducing agent used to reduce osmium and 
darken the osmophilic tissue elements. I don't think it will stain 
anything by itself.  By the way, it is a serious error to dismiss 
research simply because it is "old". How do you think we got to current 
scientific knowledge, by reinventing the wheel every time technology 
changes? Of course, if you prefer to ignore the "stone age" and make the 
same mistakes over and over again .....................
