[Histonet] preference: fat stains

[Michelle Perrins]

Hello
 
I would like your views on which provides the better result regarding
fat stains.
1. fat stains (Oil red O, etc) on frozen sections
2. osmium tetroxide on formalin fixed tissue
 
I know that osmium is nasty to work with but besides that does it
produce a better result?
 
Thanks
 
Michelle
