title: Palladium toning of silver-impregnated reticular fibers.
abstract: Palladium toning is much less expensive than gold toning. Ten minutes in 0.05% potassium hexachloropalladate in 4 N hydrochloric acid tones silver-impregnated reticular fibers as well as 3 min in 0.2% aqueous gold chloride does. Differences in toning of the background depend on the silver stain.
