Uranium Compounds
   Uranyl acetate
Uranyl acetate (UO2(CH3COO)2.2H2O)
: Highly Toxic :
It is used as a negative stain in electron microscopy, in fact, most procedures in electron microscopy for biology require the use of uranyl acetate. 1% and 2% uranyl acetate solutions are used as an indicator, and a titrant in stronger concentrations in analytical chemistry, as it forms an insoluble salt with sodium.
