Abstract
URANYL acetate has become a widely used stain in electron microscopy. In addition to its use as a negative stain, it can be used to positively stain nucleic acids and proteins. As a positive stain, uranyl acetate solutions are now being used to stain large macromolecular structures such as chromatins.
