Abstract
We describe a simple and practical approach to the modified Steiner procedure for demonstrating spirochetes and nonfilamentous bacteria. The silver impregnation is done in a microwave oven and results in slender black organisms against a pale yellow background. Advantages of the method include shorter reducing times, elimination of nonselective precipitation, and diminished cellular debris. The method works in the conventional oven as well.
