Abstract
Equal volumes of heparinized or EDTA-treated blood and a 0.5% solution of rhodanile blue (E. Gurr, Michrome No. 1156) in 1% NaCl were mixed and allowed to stand for 2 rain. Thin smears were then prepared, air dried and examined under oil. Heinz bodies stained deep purple and contrasted well with the yellow-orange to blue-green cytoplasm. Durable mounts could be made by applying a cover glass with a resinous mediiun to the dry smear (D. P. X. was used). The reticular material in reticulocytes did not stain in 2 min but could be stained by allowing the stain to act 5 min.
