Termites for a science fair project. anchovy from a pizza to pull a joke on a pathologist chicken bone from dim sum chicken feet, again to pull one over on a pathologist. Not decalcified, embedded in resin.

RE: [Histonet] cutting honey bees Sent by: [email protected] You crazy research people...OK, so what is the craziest thing you ever had to cut, or were asked to cut? For me, not too bad, but embedding for EM and sectioning a single oocyte that was nearly microscopic. I'll just say it took a LOT of thick sections too face down to it without actually cutting through it. Open the floodgates....

Edu Subject: RE: [Histonet] cutting honey bees for the whole bee I probably would process and embed it in glycol methacrylate (gma) it is much harder and would give better sections, we have done zebra fish and several other harder tissues including calcified bone in GMA.

They wanted to show the difference between the stingers. I wasn't sure what to do so I processed and handled like everything else. I was able to get some good sections. I put 6 stingers in each block and cut several sections figuring there should be at least one good stinger in each block and it worked. > Roberta Horner > Penn State University > Animal Diagnostic Lab > ________________________________________ > From: [email protected] > [[email protected]] on behalf of Douglas Gregg > [[email protected]] > Sent: Saturday, January 03, 2015 6:08 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [Histonet] cutting honey bees > > Has anyone had experience embedding and cutting honey bees.
