– Frozen sections of molar tissue areas obtained from 50 newborn mice were stained with rhodamine B. A yellow brilliant fluorescence of rhodamine B was demonstrated in tissue areas which showed accumulation of histochemically discernible phospholipids as demonstrated with the OTAN method. The results suggest that the fluorochrome reacts with lipid substances – possibly in the simultaneous presence of SH groups. The method used in the present investigation was found to be valuable in studies on developmental variations in keratinizing tissues and in enamel matrix.
