Excerpt from Biological Stains: A Handbook on the Nature and Uses of the Dyes Employed in the Biological Laboratory

At the same time a good deal of new material has been added which should make it more useful. It will be noticed, in partie ular, that under various dyes, staining formulae and procedures employing these dyes are given in detail. This was not done in the first edition, as it was difficult to decide which procedures to include and which to omit. Obviously it would be impossible to in elude all staining methods without expanding the book into a text on microscopic technic, an undertaking which did not seem wise. Since publication, however, there has been a demand for such material in the book, and the present edition includes many of the most outstanding staining methods. N 0 claim is made that all important procedures are given. The number outlined in this book has been limited by including only those that have been used in the laboratories of the members of the Commission and are therefore known to give good results with modern American stains. It is felt that their inclusion will make the book a more use ful handbook for the laboratory than was the earlier edition.
