  • Title: Application of colloidal iron method to semithin sections of epoxy embedded tissues.
    Author: Litwin JA, Kasprzyk JM.
    Journal: Folia Histochem Cytochem (Krakow); 1980; 18(4):245-8. PubMed ID: 6162762.
    Abstract:
    Hale's colloidal iron reaction for acid mucopolysaccharides was applied to semithin sections of Epon-embedded tissues routinely processed for electron microscopy. The reaction was found to be positive only after partial removal of the resin in NaOH/absolute ethanol solution; its sensitivity, however, did not reach that obtained in paraffin or frozen sections. The duration of the Epon-removing procedure seems to be crucial for the specificity of staining.
