Movat's stain

Movat's stain is a pentachrome stain originally developed by Henry Zoltan Movat[1] in 1955 to highlight the various constituents of connective tissue, especially cardiovascular tissue, by five colors in a single stained slide.[2] In 1972, H. K. Russell, Jr. modified the technique so as to reduce the time for staining and to increase the consistency and reliability of the staining.[3]
