Fungal Stain (Hexamine silver method) Baso Clear Colourful Stains
Testing Principle
After the specimen is oxidized with periodic acid, the mucopolysaccharide in the cell wall of fungi and other opportunistic organisms exposes aldehyde groups, which reduce silver hexamine to black metallic silver. Sodium thiosulfate fixes the colored silver salt and removes unreacted silver ions.
Stain Results
The mycelia and spores of the fungus are brown-black or black, the structure is clear and obvious, and the background is green.
