[Histonet] Corrective Action Policy
Good Morning Histonetters, Does anyone have a corrective action policy - histology specific or any information on this subject that they would be willing to share with me? We have a general lab corrective action policy but I would like to come up with something that is more histology specific. Thanks in advance for everyone's help.

[Histonet] an Olympus BH-2 trinocular
Hi Guys, Would you know where I could purchase a c-mount for an Olympus BH-2 trinocular head? I want to take some easy pictures of rat brain HE sections with a 2X objective. I don't mind buying off of ebay, but I don't know what I need. Also, any recommendations for very inexpensive cameras? These don't need to be fantastic, it's more for documentation. Thanks, Caroline ___ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet

[Histonet] Music in the Laboratory
Greetings. I would like to know what other histology laboratories allow for music players while working. Do you have formal policies about music content or volume? Do you allow lab space doors to remain closed to muffle the volume of what is being played? Are headsets allowed? I am a terrible judge of this because I personally prefer to work in a quiet environment. I am trying to be open minded, as long as the work gets done. However, one of the techs had a song playing today that I believe was inappropriate for general listening in the lab. Am I just out of touch? Is that dang F word just something I'm going to have to learn to accept? Do you have a written policy? When/how/why was it implemented? I should mention that it's a small private lab, with minimal patient traffic. We do see our share of FedEx, UPS, sales service reps. Your ideas on this is very much appreciated.

RE: [Histonet] Music in the Laboratory
The F word, among several others is not appropriate in a workplace. It's not appropriate anywhere, but we have control over the workplace. I have never, and will never allow inappropriate music at the workplace. The best way to prevent it, without your staff claimingprejudice as they so love to do, is ban music in the lab altogether. This is work, not a party. Sent from my Windows Phone From: tracz...@aol.com Sent: 1/17/2012 6:37 PM To: histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu Subject: [Histonet] Music in the Laboratory Greetings.

[Histonet] Quenching auto fluorescence in human tissue
Hi all, I have been experiencing trouble with my secondary antibody when doing my immuno with human colon tissue. I use to use FITC 488 as my secondary antibody and changed over to Alexa488 due to the FITC's manufacturing stop. The auto fluorescence of the human tissue is quenched with Chicago Blue solution and the slides are mounted with Prolong Gold antifade reagent to extend the life of the immuno slides. The trouble is, after a few days the fluorofors seem to 'detach' and start floating around, not allowing reliable validation of the results. This also happen if I use Mowiol as a mounting medium. Is the mounting medium reacting with Chicago Blue? Is there any alternative to quench die auto fluorescence of the tissue? Thanks for your ideas.

Re: [Histonet] Music in the Laboratory
I think there is nothing worse than being forced to listen to music that you don't like or enjoy. If the person works alone, then fine, they can listen to what they want within reason, but if there are others well then, one has to be considerate. Check with yr safety guys as to whether mp3 players s with headphones are allowed. my 2 c worth On Wed, Jan 18, 2012 at 4:37 AM, tracz...@aol.com wrote: Greetings.
