In one form of this procedure, periodic acid oxidizes diols in sugars, yielding two aldehydes which react with Schiff's reagent.
In one form of this procedure, periodic acid oxidizes diols in sugars, yielding two aldehydes which react with Schiff's reagent. One variant named for Hoechst is similar to one that uses DAPI. Variants include G-banding, used in karyotyping, and one which uses hematoxylin and eosin. Masson's variant requires four solutions, and one that produces silver chromate is named for Golgi. Safranin contrasts with crystal violet, which identifies peptidoglycan in the Gram form of this process used to differentiate bacteria. For 10 points, name this microscopy procedure that increases the visibility of different structures using dyes.
