The crystal ghosts represent a crystal associated organic material which is stained by acidic phosphotungstic acid, periodic acid-silver methenamine and periodic acid-thiosemicarbazide-osmium, and is reactive with cations and with colloidal iron at pH 2.0, and unreactive after methylation and saponification. These results suggest that crystal ghosts are, or derive from, proteoglycans of calcifying matrix.
晶状幽灵代表一种与晶体相关的有机物质，它可被酸性磷钨酸、高碘酸-银甲胺和高碘酸-硫代氨基脲-锇染色，在pH 2.0时与阳离子和胶体铁发生反应，甲基化和皂化后无反应。这些结果表明，晶状幽灵是钙化基质的蛋白聚糖，或者源自钙化基质的蛋白聚糖。
