Staining of pollen grains

[Bcrazy]

I have become bored at looking at pollen grains that had been stined red so i wanted something different.

Not sure where to post this as it is not a common occurance to study pollen grains.

To finalize this thread i have now taken more shots of the stained pollen grains to see if there was any significant difference. Cant upload my final photos so ill close this thread its going nowhere anyway.

Hi BCrazy,

I haven't been on this forum for a while so just found this post by you.

What were your final conclusions about the stains? If you can't post pictures then a few words about each stain would be helpful.

I use Fuschin in glycerine jelly but find it a bit slow to stain. Maye it is my technique?

Should this be under microscopy?
