Manual of Histological Demonstration Techniques

The use of histological techniques for the demonstration of ion exchange resins.

AIM To establish the staining characteristics of certain ion exchange resins in histological material, with a view to enabling confident differential identification. METHODS Various histological staining procedures were applied to selected pathological material and prepared agar blocks containing the cation exchange resin calcium polystyrene sulphonate and the anion exchange resin cholestyram...

Histological staining techniques

The first stainings were tried by A VAN LEEUWENHOEK (apparently in the years 1714-1719) and by R VIEUSSENS (about 1684) studying their objects with alcoholic saffron dyes (LEWIS FT, 1942). At last, genuine histological work began much later when T HARTIG, C WEIGERT, J GERLACH, P EHRLICH and H GIERKE started in the second half of the 19 century with their systematic studies of natural and synthe...

Demonstration of Ramsay Smith's Method of Rapidly Preparing Histological Specimens

as ethyl chloride, and much cheaper.) 2. The method of cutting, which consists of a continuous raising of the screw with the left hand simultaneously with a rapid to and fro movement of the knife, without any attempt to adapt the screw at each cut. This is not only rapid, but gives exceedingly good sections, although the exact measurement of them is not attempted. 3. The method of mounting perm...

Adaptation of certain histological techniques for in situ demonstration of the neuro-endocrine system of insects and other animals

Three techniques for staining the secretory neurones in sections were applied directly to the whole brain and/or intact organs of the neuro-endocrine system of certain insects, and the whole brain of various invertebrates and vertebrates. After minor changes in the original procedures, in situ staining was achieved in those components of the neuro-endocrine system that are known to contain the ...
