(A. N. Nagaraj and L. M. Black, "Localization of...)

Stained or unstained sections were examined under dark_field_illumination in a Zeiss fluorescence microscope equipped with a mercury vapor lamp ( Osram_HBO 200 ) .

A red filter , Zeiss barrier filter with the code ( Schott ) designation BG 23 , was also used in the ocular lens assembly as it improved the contrast between specific and nonspecific fluorescence .

Such sections showed bright yellow-green specific fluorescence in the cells of the pseudophloem tissue ( Lee and Black , 1955 ) .

This specific fluorescence was readily distinguished from the light_green nonspecific fluorescence in consecutive sections stained with 1 : 10 dilution of NS and * * f or with * * f alone .
