Abstract
Gomori's stain for elastic tissue can be applied directly to paraffin sections as a routine method for fungus capsules and membranes. Either freshly prepared, or old sections previously stained with hematoxylin-eosin, can be used. After applying the aldehydefuchsin stain, nuclei may be stained (or restained) with hematoxylin, and a general background stain obtained with either eosin or light green.
