hi.

i'm interested in picking up a quick, simple and fairly affordable fluorescent counterstain for viewing cell morphology in antibody labeled sections of chicken embryos.  from what i can put together, some sort of lectin would likely do the job, but i'm having a hard time finding material with lectin labels used in the chicken embryo.  i've seen some papers with nice wheat germ agglutinin labels in similar staged somites of mice.  i primarily need this as an Ab counterstain, but if i could get something that would work live as well, that would be great.  (i've got a collection of membrane labels for live imaging, but more options are always nice.)

any advice would be greatly appreciated.

thank you,  matthew
