Hello,

I was wondering if someone might have some expertise on how to prepare a 
hard-tick for sectioning in paraffin. I have been decalcifying to soften the 
exoskeleton but not sure if that even helps. I have used acid decalcifying but 
would EDTA be more appropriate? I have punctured the ticks and used vacuum for 
all steps (fixation, decalcification, dehydration etc....). Still crunchy on 
the outside and soft in the middle!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks!
Mike
