[Histonet] Movat's Pentachrome Question

[Patsy Ruegg]

Yes pentachrome is a pain to do, but when done properly I challenge you to
find a more beautiful and useful stain, it is definitely my favorite to look
at.

Ummm...yes, the protocol for a Movat's Pentachrome is a mile long.  It's got
five different stains There is no one step Movat's Pentachrome.  As a matter
of fact, to me, it's always been shorthand for a pain in the a**.

Tech one:  "Any special stains today?  I need to leave early."
Tech two:  "Just a Movat's Pentachrome."
Tech one:  " &%*#@$&  !!!"

                                                       Sincerely,

                                                           Jay A. Lundgren,
