QUESTION:
I am interested in staining artemia nauplii cuticle
because I want to perform an automated and quick count of Artemia
brood by scanning them (after having passed them through a sieve) and then
using image analysis. I was wondering if one of you knows of such stain that
acts on cuticle or of helpful publications. I don't necessarily need to keep
the stained nauplii alive so it can be a toxic product. however, I would
rather have a water soluble stain as I want to apply it directly into the
water in which I raise the brine shrimps. Thank you for your help.

Use Lugol....it stains them nicely.
