A Modified Verhoeff Elastic-van Gieson Stain

Winsome Garvey, Carmencita L. Jimenez, Blair F. Carpenter

Abstract

A simplified version of the modified Verhoefs elastic-van Gieson stain is presented. This method uses a timed differentiation of the elastic tissue stain coupled with van Gieson counterstain. The van Gieson counterstain is balanced so that the picric acid completes the differentiation without loss of staining of the finer elastic fibrils. The entire procedure takes about 20 min to perform. (The J Histotechnol 14:113, 1991)
