 | | Transfer the section to several changes of distilled water, a few minutes each, and then into a 0.5% w/v solution of periodic acid in distilled water where it is left for 5 minutes. |
 | | Check the Haematoxylin stain; if the tissue should be overstained or the surface of the resin has become stained with Haematoxylin, this may be corrected by a short differentiation in acid alcohol (0.5% HCl in 70% ethanol) and "reblueing" of the stained tissue. |
 | | Rinse the section in distilled water and counterstain it, using a 5% solution of Eosin Y in distilled water; leave the section in the Eosin stain for 30 minutes to 1 hour, wash briefly in running water and check the staining of the tissue. |
