title: Fixation of mammalian tissues in different fixatives and its influence on the staining with methyl green-pyronin.
abstract: This investigation is a study on the role of fixation of different mammalian tissues in different fixatives as well as in 10% neutral formalin containing different metal cations and its effect on the staining with the dye-mixture, methyl green-pyronin. The results indicate variation in the colour of the nuclei in tissues fixed in the different fixatives. The possible role of the fixatives on nuclear colouration has been discussed.
