Anonymous question from a subscriber👋 I ordered fuchsin to prepare Ziehl-Neelsen fuchsin solution. I prepared the solution according to the recipe: 10 ml 96% alcohol 2 drops of glycine 5 grams of phenol 1 gram of fuchsin 300 ml distilled water And this is what happened. Either I did something wrong, or the fuchsin is counterfeit. Help, what is this 😭
