[Histonet] Stain for iodine?

[Rene J Buesa]

As you point out TEM would be one way. Perhaps Frozen sections could allow you to visualize iodine crystals, but completely rule out the paraffin way because the iodine will dissolve during processing.

Histonetters,

We have tissue that contains a iodinated nanosphere CT contrast agent
and would like to identify the cells that took up said agent. 

Other than doing TEM does anyone have a suggestion for a stain we could
use to visualize the iodine? Can be for either frozen or paraffin
sections.

Thanks,
Brett
