1602.0. "Dye for microscope slides" by IOSG::EDMONDSON (She hoovers the ground he walks on) Thu Mar 20 1997 11:02

    My son has a scientific microscope, and would now like to make up some
    slides of his own.  The instruction book suggests using amaranth or
    methelyne blue as a dye.  Where can I get hold of either of these? 
    I've tried Boots in town, and Moss the chemist.

    Methylene blue used be available as a remedy for freshwater/tropical 
    fish. If it's still available, and is the same chemical you're looking for,
    then World of Water (at Shinfield) or Pet City would be your best bet.
