Rapid detection of fungal filaments in corneal scrapings by microwave heating-assisted grocott′s methenamine silver staining
The Gomoris methanamine silver impregnation technique is a highly reliable and archiveable method of detecting fungal filaments, but the staining procedure is time consuming and laborious. A technique using microwave energy to reduce the duration of Gomori′s silver staining is described.
