Gomori trichrome stain

Gomori trichrome stain
a one-step mixture of stains used to identify an increase in collagenous connective tissue fibers or to differentiate between collagen and smooth muscle fibers; it combines a plasma stain (chromotrope 2R) and a connective tissue fiber stain (fast green FCF, light green, or aniline blue), with phosphotungstic acid, and acetic acid. The mixture differentially stains a variety of cytoplasmic inclusions associated with various disease states, such as ragged red fibers.
