Abstract
THE methods in use for staining renal tissue for assessment of the juxtaglomerular index require either prolonged fixation or staining or both. We wish to report a technique which has the advantages of rapidity, staining contrast of the juxtaglomerular granules adequate for counting under the light microscope, and the simultaneous preservation, and staining of renal tubular mitochondria.
