A sharp knife is nothing without a sharp eye. - Klingon Proverb On Friday, March 26, 2021, 01:23:39 PM CDT, Igor Deyneko via Histonet <histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu> wrote: Hello fellow Histonetters, Has anyone ever worked with any type of a tissue orientation marker that is not a dye, but rather some sort of a synthetic product that can be processed and then sliced in a microtome? Previously, we have used plain gut sutures and dyed histogel, which we processed and made paraffin punch biopsies and then placed it as a tissue marker along with tissues of interest and processed again. It's quite cumbersome, so I'm trying to see if there are better options out there? Thank you!
