[Histonet] osmium

[Nuernberger, Barb]

I'm asking this on behalf of my histologist who has been asked by a
pathologist to modify a protocol that she has from the AFIP manual.
When doing an osmium fixation on formalin fixed tissue, is the 8 hour
fixing time a minimum or can it sit overnight before continuing?

Thank you for any help.
