Silver Impregnation for the Nervous System Being Used in Our Laboratory

Method of Silver Impregnation for Nervous Tissue Embedded in Paraffin.

Silver Impregnation for Electron Microscopy

Heavy metal impregnation of specimens for electron microscopy offers a means for differential "staining" of various tissue components and cellular constituents. Of many silver impregnation methods, one of the most useful is Gomori's silver methenamine (1) after periodic acid oxidation (PA-SM) (2, 3). Several authors have applied silver impregnation to electron microscopy (4-7), mainly for the d...

Silver Impregnation Stain for Leptospira and Flagella.

Leptospires are difficult to stain with the usual bacterial stains; many different stains have been proposed, most of which are designed for staining of tissue sections. Silver stains that are available for smear preparations yield variable, unreliable results. Staining of bacterial flagella is often avoided because of difficulties involved. There exists a need for a simple technique which does...
