[Weems, Joyce]

That will prove your stain worked, but I would use the same control you use for GMS - that way you know how the the fungus looks... 
my 2 cents! j

Subject: [Histonet] fungus control for PASfungus


Is it acceptable to use kidney tissue as a control for PAS stain when looking for fungus? We have been having a debate on this issue and would like to know what you all think.
