Silver proteinate (Protargol) is used as a component of the Periodic Acid-ThioSemiCarbazide-Silver Proteinate (PA-TSC-SP) staining protocol for ultrastructural detection of carbohydrates such as glycogen, and proteoglycans.

Methodological impediments have long been the main problem in estimating the ecological role of marine benthic ciliates. Percoll density centrifugation is currently the most efficient technique for extracting ciliates from fine-grained sediments, while the high cost and low density of

Dermo-epidermal separation in dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB) is thought to results from an abnormality of anchoring fibrils which, in normal skin, are stained selectively by the periodic acid-thiosemicarbazide-silver proteinate technique. This method was applied to non-lesional skin from four patients

The morphology and infraciliature of four marine cyrtophorid ciliates isolated from Qingdao, China, were investigated. Based on the present work and on previous data, improved diagnoses for three rarely known species are provided: (1) Mirodysteria decora; small-sized marine Mirodysteria about
LR White is a well-suited resin for the demonstration of carbohydrates with the PAS or PA-TCH-SP reaction in semithin and ultrathin sections. The intensity of these reactions can be greatly enhanced by using 3 steps in tissue preparation, either singly

The morphology and morphogenesis of Diophrys japonica spec. nov., isolated from the Mie Port, Nagasaki, Japan, were investigated from life and following impregnation with protargol. The new species is recognized by the following characters: Body elliptical in outline and slightly
