Summary A highly sensitive and specific method for staining exogenous chromium and iron in tissues is described. This method is superior to conventional complex-forming methods with regard to its sensitivity and specificity for these metals. The staining reaction is based on the metalcatalysed oxidation of phenylamines. Tissue sections were incubated in a medium containing hydrogen peroxide and phenylamines, p-phenylenediamine or phenylhydrazine. Results obtained from test-tube experiments concerning the catalytic activities of metals indicated that the staining reactions depends on the activities of metals in tissues.
