Autoclaving, surely. I thought than one of the points about Reich's 
work in this area is that he couldn't use stains, and had to develop 
techniques to allow viewing at high powers without stains. This is 
one of the criticisms of his work (I write having never seen any 
films of bions): that at such high powers resolution becomes so poor 
that it is very difficult to actually see anything, and also very 
easy to 'see' things!
