Abstract
Gallocyanin has been used successfully as a nuclear stain. Sections are cut by the freezing method of either fixed or unfixed tissue. The tissues are warmed (not exceeding 70°C.) for 2-4 minutes in the gallocyanin solution. A counterstain may be used if desired. The most effective are Biebrich scarlet, phloxine, or eosin Y. The sections are then dehydrated and mounted in clarite. The nuclear pattern is clearly demonstrated and the sections are permanent.
