A new en bloc stain for cell membranes: tannic methylamine tungstate.
A new stain is described that combines the mordanting and preservative effects of tannic acid with every strong staining, particularly of plasma membranes. The staining is sufficiently intense in some cell types to reveal frequent links between the outer and the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane.
