Modifications of the Goldner and Gomori one-step trichrome stains for plastic-embedded thin sections of bone
Abstract
Modifications of the trichrome stains by Goldner and Gomori are described. They provide two reliable methods for identifying osteoid seams, bone cells, and other structures in bone embedded in plastic. Trichrome stains for paraffin-embedded soft tissue are not compatible with plastic-embedded bone. These modifications work well with most of the plastic embedding media in routine use.
