Abstract
A simple technique for fixing and staining peritrich ciliates [Epistylis sp.] involving fixation in phosphate buffered formalin and staining with Semichon''s acetic-carmine is presented. This procedure seems superior to conventional methods for achieving relaxation of zooids and for differentiation of the macronucleus.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
