Abstract:
A much simplified method for the demonstration of bone morphology using Schmorl's picro-thionin technique is described, and the necessity for reliable samples of thionin emphasised. Findings from previous experiments provide the evidence and theoretical background to justify the use of certified stains for this purpose.
