Hi Folks, Some lymph node sections (usually bigger ones-maybe almost as big as a dime) have a shattered appearance on the block surface. Subsequently the sections look like shattered glass or a mosaic of tissue pieces making up the whole. I think this is happening at the embedding station from trying to make sure that the tissue is flat in the mold (ie pressing the tissue down). Has anyone else out there have any similar experience with this problem? Is the solution as simple as cutting smaller pieces into the cassette at the time of trimming? Thanks. Greg
