Abstract
ACETOCARMINE techniques have only been used to a limited extent in cytological studies of the Phaeophyta, and only in examination of filamentous forms, or filamentous phases in the life-history of the larger forms. Investigations of the Fucales have relied on techniques of embedding and microtoming, followed by staining with Heidenhain's hæmatoxylin1 or crystal violet2.
