Hi!
I want to stain my cell cultures with a technique commonly used in histology. Since I can not find any reference of this I wonder: do histological techniques such as hematoxilin-eosin staining work in PFA fixed cells? On the other hand, I can't think of any reason why it should not work.
Has anybody ever done this?
Thank you!

Done it before, never had a problem (other than my cells trying to wash off the slide, but that's a different issue).

Thanks! That's what I thought.
