Dear All,
In our general microbiolgy course for undergraduates my students
perform the Acid Fast stain. We use the procedure that involves
steaming with carbolfuschin. I am aware that an alternate stain is
available (Kinyoun stain). I have not been able to find a procedure.
Any help?
I would also appreciate any general reference on staining in
microbiology. I am interested in techniques and theory.
Thank you!
