Note

Note: If there is a difference between these two procedures, it likely lies in the degree to which we permit the eosin to remain in 95% ethanol after staining. FCM tends to short staining times and brief rinses in 95% ethanol while PR uses a long staining time and a long rinse. While both use mercury arc excitation, PR does not notice the ‘holes’ in the eosin background after viewing.
