I do not understand the sentence in my text book "Feulgen staining is based on the 
reaction of 2-deoxy sugars with schiff's reagent (Dye Fuchsine is decolourised by 
sulfurous acid)."What is Stiff's reagent and what is the relation between the 
sentence "dye Fuchsine is decolourised by sulfurous acid" with the stiff's 
reagent?
