High contrast can be obtained in ultrathin sections of bacterial cells embedded in the low-temperature resin Lowicryl by post-staining of the sections on an aqueous ruthenium red solution. Post-staining with lead citrate can be omitted. Combination with post-staining with uranyl acetate results in f
Polysaccharides produced in technical scale from red algae serve in a variety of industrial applications. Ruthenium red (RR) is a cytochemical stain which has been used to visualize these mostly acidic polysaccharides in light microscopy. The binding of RR to algal polysaccharides is highly dependen
