[A new combined method demonstrating simultaneously collagen, reticulin and fibrin].
Acid dyestuff, Ponceacis and Gomori method with modified silver concentration were used in demonstrating both the reticulin and collagen fibers in a satisfactory result first, and the section was then counterstained with alkalized Victoria blue, which might give a good differentiation among these different elements. It is indicated that these three staining methods might combine together and differentiate the collagen as well as reticulin fibers from fibrin in the same section simultaneously. The staining was known to be rather stable.
