New applications for the zinc iodide-osmium tetroxide technique.
The zinc iodide-osmium tetroxide (ZIO) fixation/staining method was applied for neurocytological studies and also to examine several other tissue samples including epidermal Langerhans cells, blood and bone marrow cells and lymphoid tissue. Although precise specificity cannot be attributed to the staining reaction, interesting staining patterns for different cell types were observed by using one of the ZIO staining solutions. The significance of ZIO positivity is briefly discussed.
