nuclear stain

[Hurley, David Biol]

Why not use crytsal violet or wright's stain.  both will clearly stain 
nuclei.

I am looking for a simple histological stain to show nuclei of 
fixed cultured cells.  I can think of a fluorescent stain, Hoechst 33258, 
but would prefer to use an ordinary light microscope.
