Controlled silver-staining of nucleolus organizer regions with a protective colloidal developer: a 1-step method

Experientia. 1980 Aug 15;36(8):1014-5. doi: 10.1007/BF01953855.

Abstract

A 1-step silver-staining technique, requiring only 2 min to perform, is described for the differential staining of nucleolus organizer regions. A protective colloidal developer is used to control the reduction of the silver.
