[Histonet] Background on Jones Stain

[Jay Lundgren]

I'd guess it's silver residue.  For some reason, non-specific silver is
sticking to the new slides.  Why don't you just buy a case of your old
slides to keep around for the Jones stain?

                                                                 Sincerely,


 Jay A. Lundgren, M.S., HTL (ASCP)
