electron stains

electron stains
substances containing heavy atoms, such as osmic tetroxide, uranyl, and lead ions, which, under certain conditions, act as “electron stains,” comparable to histologic stains, by combining selectively with certain regions of the specimen; used in the visualization of the ultrastructure.
