[Histonet] Stain for iodine?

[Connolly, Brett M]

Right, Lugol's sol'n with iodine and potassium iodide. That might be
worth tinkering with, thanks.  

I was also thinking of something along the lines of crystal violet, ala
a gram stain.

Just a suggestion.  Haven't tried it.  A classic method for
demonstrating starch is exposure to iodine, resulting in a dark purple
to black precipitate. I wonder if you could use the technique in
reverse, so to speak, and stain the iodine by exposure to a starch
solution??
