Hi

I culture cells on PET membrane filters (Transwell, 10µm thickness) and embed them on paraffin.

When I cut transversally using microtome, it is so hard to visualize the PET membrane supporting the cells so that I am never sure to get them.

Is there a way to color or stain the PET membrane for me to be sure my slices contains the membrane and the cells ?

The staining do not give fluorescence as I do immunofluorescence on later steps.

The picture is a representative google image without fluorescence of what I try to obtain
