Preparation and use of pulp from the Eastern black walnut tree to stain the epithelial and connective tissue of various tissue samples.

In my Investigation and Research course myself and my partner gathered black walnuts from trees located on our campus. We used the pulp of the walnuts to make a stain. We tested the stain on several different tissue types to determine what type of tissue the walnut stain, stained. Below is a link to the poster presented summarizing the project.
