Staining Method of Dorner with Snyder's modification
The method given by Snyder (12) is as follows: Prepare a smear and dry it in air. Cover the smear with blotting paper and saturate it with carbol fuchsin (SI9). Heat the slide from below till steam rises for 5-10 minutes. Keep the blotting paper moist by adding stain dropwise during the process. To obtain neat preparation, decolourize immediately with 95% ethyl alcohol, but omit this step if organisms do not hold colour well
