Acriflavine-Feulgen stilbene staining: a procedure for automated cervical cytology with a television based system (LEYTAS).

Abstract
A sample preparation and staining procedure for automated cytology with a TV based system (LEYTAS) is described. It consists of a centrifugation technique and automated acriflavine-Feulgen stilbene staining of cervical specimens. The advantages of using both the fluorescence and the absorption image of acriflavine-Feulgen stilbene stained cervical cells for a television based system are discussed.
