[Histonet] Osteoid fluorescence staining

[Michael Kerschnitzki]

Hey Histonetters,

Can anybody tell me a fluorescence stain for osteoid. 
I need to measure the osteoid volume around/at the surface of
bone lacunae with confocal laser scanning microscopy. 
I heard about basic fuchsin but there the lacunae voids are 
also stained so i guess it's hard then to distinguish between the 
void and the osteoid.

Thanks for your help.

Michael
