Hi all, Due to water contamination on the processor some of our cases had processing artifact with poor histology. Any suggestion to remedy this issue? We did reprocess the blocks but still not good. Any cutting or staining tips so slides can be readable. Thank you all, Kiran Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

Anyone unfamiliar with the story should certainly read up on it. It was truly incredible. The link to the Wikipedia article was previously posted. A couple of important points about this story. The ship that blew up was carrying metric *tons* of picric acid. The ship also was carrying tons of other explosive material (nitroglycerine amongst others). If your lab has tons of picric acid (not 10-100 grams like most labs) and tons of other explosives, you might have cause for panic. If not, you likely have an extremely small amount stored under water or in a solution which poses less risk when used & stored properly than many other chemicals in a lab. I don't mean to say there is no risk, but I would say the concern is a bit overly dramatic. Like a carpenter, know your tools and how to treat them and they will serve you well. Otherwise ANY of the tools you have are likely to bite you.
