[Histonet] Elastic Stain

[Vickroy, Jim]

We are still looking for an Elastic/H&E stain procedure for lung tissue. Please submit procedures to Jim Vickroy.   vickroy.jim <@t> mhsil.com<mailto:vickroy.jim <@t> mhsil.com>

A few of you have responded with some suggestions but we still have not found the right procedure.   Currently we stain for elastic with Verhoeff's Elastic Stain and  use Van Gieson's stain  as a counterstain and the pathologist would like us to use a hematoxylin and eosin counterstain instead.  We have tried to use the H&E as a counterstain but it is still not where he wants it to be.   Does anybody have some experience with this that they would like to share?

Thanks
