ResumoFluorescent staining of fungi in clinical specimens with the optical brightener Blankophor can be performed concomitantly with maceration of surrounding tissue and may be accelerated by heating. The procedure is suitable for disclosing fungi in gram-stained microscopical mounts and can be used for screening of tissue sections prior to immunofluorescence.
