Traditional methods to localize beta-glycosidase activity in tissue sections have been based on incubation with the general substrate 6-bromo-2-naphthyl-beta-d-glucopyranoside. When hydrolysed in the presence of salt zinc compounds, 6-bromo-2-naphthyl-beta-d-glucopyranoside affords the formation of an insoluble coloured product. This technique does
