How many are we talking about? I embed 6 sections of mouse = bowel on end and it works? Just fill the mold, put it on the cold spo= t for a second, then on some room temperature area, the paraffin will harde= n slowly enough that you should be able to embed them?

Would one of the tissue microarray methods work? (I've never done that before, so I have no idea.)
