Abstract
The conventional Luxol Fast Blue (LFB) staining method of Kluver-Barrera for myelin and nerve cells was modified using a microwave oven as a heating source to stain tissue sections rapidly. A premicrowave method was also performed and compared with the conventional method. The resulting staining was indistinguishable from that obtained with the conventional method. The microwave methods give consistent results and save a considerable amount of valuable technologist time.Keywords
