Abstract
A method of silver staining a pathologic sample is disclosed. The method involves the reduction of silver diamine complexes bound to components of the sample by a reducing agent released from a reducing agent carrier. The use of a reducing agent carrier which slowly releases the reducing agent during the reaction permits staining at ambient temperatures.
