Summary A technique is described in which carbohydrates present in sections of animal tissues are stained with fluorescein-labelled concanavalin A. Evidence is presented which suggests that the fluorescent staining is due to the presence of hexose residues containing the α-D-arabinopyranoside configuration. Possible extensions of the application of this type of histochemical method are discussed.
