[Histonet] procedure for osmium and potassium chromate?

[Geoff McAuliffe]

Dalton's Chrome-osmium fix was popular for awhile in the 1950's. You 
will need to look in an older methods book. The combo of dichromate and 
osmium will not make your safety officer happy. There are many ways to 
stain lipids with osmium, alone or mixed with something else. Is this 
for EM or LM?
