We describe the modification of a number of stains for the microwave oven: Grocott's methenamine silver, acid fast bacteria, Giemsa, Lillie's melanin, methyl green pyronin, Masson's trichrome, and glycogen double digestion. Their adaptation has markedly reduced the time needed for staining. The staining procedures described here can be used on paraffin sections, frozen sections on coated slides, touch preparations, and cytology specimens.
