[Histonet] Histonet Digest, Vol 164, Issue 10 mycoplasma on agar

[Steve McClain]

Too bad, Hoescht stain is rapid and sensitive (UV) for mycoplasma.

They can try staining direct smears w difquik giemsa. 

Or fix agar plate in Carnoy's and slice out and process to paraffin for microtomy and staining.  IHC  can be done from sections if needed.
These 1 micron bacteria are at the practical limits of visibility.
