| Rambourg's periodic acid-chromic methenamine-silver stain | <technique> A stain for glycoproteins, used with an electron microscope, adapted from the Gomori-Jones periodic acid-methenamine-silver stain; it produces silver deposits in mature saccules of the Golgi apparatus, lysosomal vesicles, cell coat, and basement membranes.

| Gomori-Jones periodic acid-methenamine-silver stain | <technique> A staining method using methenamine silver, periodic acid, gold chloride, haematoxylin, and eosin to delineate basement membrane, reticulin, collagen, and nuclei; used in renal histopathology. See: Rambourg's periodic acid-chromic methenamine-silver stain. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Gomori's methenamine-silver stain | <technique> Techniques for 1) argentaffin cells: a method using a methenamine-silver solution in combination with gold chloride, sodium thiosulphate, and safranin O; argentaffin granules appear brown-black against a green background; 2) urates: warm sections are treated directly with a hot methenamine-silver solution to produce a blackening of urates; 3) fungi: see Grocott-Gomori methenamine-silver stain; 4) melanin, which reduces silver nitrate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Gomori's silver impregnation stain | <technique> A reliable method for reticulin, as an aid in the diagnosis of neoplasm and early cirrhosis of the liver; the staining solution employs silver nitrate, potassium hydroxide, and ammonia water carefully prepared to avoid having silver precipitate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Grocott-Gomori methenamine-silver stain | <technique> A modification of Gomori's methenamine-silver stain for fungi in which sections are pretreated with chromic acid before addition of the methenamine-silver solution and then counterstained with light green to demonstrate black-brown fungi against a pale green background.
