Staining tissue for light and electron microscopy by bridging metals with multidentate ligands

J S Hanker et al. Science. .

Abstract

"Osmium black," a pigment very useful for cytological staining in both light and electron microscopy, may be deposited selectively at the tissue-binding sites of other metal ions by bridging OsO(4) to the tissue bound metal ion through a multidentate ligand.
