Guest guest Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 Ok, I was trying to do a search on which type of stains are used to look at fungi under a microscope. I have ordered a microscope and am trying to educate myself on how to properly use it. Some of you might be able to help me in this area. Anyway I typed in fungal stains and found a slew of web sights but these two looked interesting. Especially this first one. I thought I would share them and see what you think. http://www.niaid.nih.gov/dmid/meetings/mycology94/fungal.htm http://jcp.bmjjournals.com/cgi/content/full/57/2/139 Quote

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2006 Report Posted October 26, 2006 The second link is describing PAS stain. This stain is used to stain histiological samples for fungi. Samples from biopsies, scrapings, etc. Quote
