Hi Folks,

      A colleague wants to stain DNA and view it on
a visible-wavelength confocal.  However, she wants
a stain that stains only DNA, not RNA and believes
that all of the visible-wavelength probes that stain
DNA also stain RNA.  [based largely on what's in
the Molecular Probes catalog].
      Does anyone know of a visible stain that stains
DNA either exclusively, or at least more brightly then
RNA?

   Thanks for any suggestions,
Don

[We sadly do not have a UV confocal here]
