Application 



A widely used nuclear stain. 



For tissues of vascular plants, in combination with 

 variety of contrast stains. Cutinized, suberized, and 

 lignified tissue. Spore coats. Protein. 



In Flemming's triple stain, for chromatin and other nu- 

 clear elements, in conjunction with gentian violet; 

 orange G as contrast stain. 



For plant chromatin; with light green or anilin blue W.S. 



For bacteria, particularly in contrast to gentian violet 

 in the Gram technic. 



Nuclear dye in certain triple staining procedures. 



As tissue stain; especially preceding Mallory's anilin- 

 blue-orange-G mixture. Heidenhain's "Azan stain." 



As counterstain to a resorcin gentian violet. 



With iron-hematbxylin and naphthol green B; by MoUier 

 as tissue stain. 



By Kulschitzky for elastic tissue. 



By Flemming as nuclear stain. 



For negative staining of bacteria. 



Some indulin used in counterstaining bulk tissue. 



For central nervous tissue; alone or with other stains. 



For tissue of pancreas; following hematoxylin. 



Pfitzer's picronigrosin for chromatin. 



With basic fuchsin in staining bacterial spores (Domer). 



By Fischel for vital staining of salamander larvae. 



By Vinassa for plant sections. 



With cresyl violet; by Kisser as tissue stain. 



By Richards and Miller for fluorescent staining of acid- 

 fast bacteria.
