A simple method for staining semi-thick tissue sections to demonstrate fungal elements

A simple method of staining epon embedded semi-thick sections with Schiff-reagent is described. This technique allows fungal elements in tissue to be readily observed. The combination of Schiff-reagent with a Methylene blue counterstain for demonstrating fungal elements and tissue structures is also...
