Abstract
BAKER1 introduced in 1946 a carefully standardized technique, developed from the Smith–Dietrich test, for the detection of lipines. In a later communication2 she claimed that this modification (the acid–hæmatein test), controlled by his pyridine-extraction test, allows histochemical recognition of phospholipines. This was confirmed by Cain3 while working in Baker's laboratory.
