A Bleaching Method for Melanin and two Staining Methods

W. CHESTERMAN 1 and E. H. LEACH 1

An acidified permanganate method can be used for bleaching melanin in mammalian skin and eyes. It allows good staining to be performed later.

Microfilariae in nitrocellulose sections can be stained by a modified phloxine tartrazine method.

Elastic fibres can be selectively stained by using a diluted solution of synthetic orcein.
