Staining Method of Bartholomew and Mittwer
In this in method heat treatment is not applied during the stain­ing, therefore, it is also known as cold method (13). Application of longer heat treatment during fixation makes stain permeable due to widening of pores of spore. The staining solution used here is also stronger and hence it stains spore.
