Abstract
The use of janus green to stain mitochondria has long been known. While using it to study the mitochondria in Trichomonas buccalis it was found to stain the flagella also. This is an easy and quick method of determining the number of anterior flagella of the trichomonads and so of distinguishing the trichomonads from the pentatrichomonads in intestinal infections. This stain proved so useful as a flagella stain that it was applied to numerous protozoa with interesting results.
