[Histonet] Fontana Masson

[Kalleberg, Kristopher]

All,
 
Does anyone have a reference for me to read up on the chemistry involved
in Fontana Masson staining of melanin?  I am having a hard time finding
in depth information on exactly how FM stain stains the melanosmes and
the chemistry and reactions involved.  Any information, papers, or
references would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance.
