I'm with Patsy, it's a marvel! I love my field too! I just became a
member of Face Book and attached some histology links on my "Wall"
with Masimo Tosi's images on it. I have numerous musicians and Fine
Art Artists on my friendship list. Below is what I explained to
people who wouldn't know what they were seeing, and included is a
quote one of my musician friends stated after viewing Masimo's Image
of umbilical cord cross-sections on this link http://www.flickr.com/
photos/73366...@n00/
My explanation of the image was:
Akemi Allison-TachaOh, by the way, these multiple images are cross-
sections of umbilical cords. If you click on any portion of the
images, it will zoom in. You can then view the captions. We
histologist can see things that most people don't! We can be pretty
wacky! After all, we play with dead body parts! Akemi
"David KahlRemember, Galileo was considered wacky, Columbus was, too!
There are many ways to view the miracles of life, within and without.
Keep looking, as you do, in the areas ignored by others and see what
they do not. Light brings enlightenment."

I love hearing about the history of Histology, I always ponder how
things
were discovered, like how the heck did someone figure out that if you
stained micorganisms with a dye and then treated them with acid
they would
stay stained (be acid fast). This motivates me to discover things
myself.
I love what we do.

Hi Bob,
You made me wondering if your explanation of the flower's name is
true,
because German Fuchs means fox and I grew up with the believing,
that the
name is derived from the red colour of the fox. - But I was wrong.
I found the history of the exploration on a Fuchsien-website.
The discoverer was the Franziskaner-Monk Charles Plumier, born on
20th April
1646 in Marseille. He was sent by Louis XIV to Santa Domingo
(Dom.Rep.).
There he found the flowerbush and called it "Fuchsia triphylla flore
coccinea" after Leonhart Fuchs (1501-1566), a German botanist and
medic.
Perhaps I tell you nothing new, but for me it was just interesting
to look
it up.
Regards
Gudrun

Betreff: [Histonet] Re: staining for lipofuscin
Worthwhile to get the name of the stuff straight -
Lipofuscin - pronounced LIE-po-FUSS-in - from the Latin word fuscus,
'dark' - is the yellow-brown pigment.
Often confused with fuchsin - FYOOK-sin - dyes named after the color
fuscia (FYOO-sha) which is named after the flower, which is named
after somebody named Fuchs (FOOKS).
Confusing.
