[Histonet] open source NIS ELEMENTS

2014-06-20 Thread Christina Kreutzer
Hello,
we have a Nikon Eclipse E600 with a DS 2Mv camera, it was a present from
another lab and the dongle for the Software is missing. So before I am
contacting Nikon if it is possible to get a free/cheap additional dongle, I
wanted to ask you if somebody knows a capable open source equivalent to the
NIS ELEMENTS softare.

Regards
Christina

RE: [Histonet] Eosin Leaching

2014-06-20 Thread Rathborne, Toni
Is your alcohol level as high as or higher than the level of eosin in the 
containers? If there is residual eosin left at the upper portion of the slide, 
that could be causing the problem.

Hello all,

We're having a problem with our eosin bleeding out of the sections. I've read 
that this can be caused by not dehydrating adequately after eosin, but we're 
still having an issue when using fresh alcohols. Does anyone have any other 
ideas as to the cause of this problem?

Thanks in advance for your help!

We haven’t changed our mounting medium, but I’ll have to check on the alcohol 
levels. When I stain (we hand stain only - very small lab), I always make sure 
the alcohol is higher than the eosin, but I have a lab assistant now, and it’s 
very possible I didn’t make that a point. I’ll try that.

Any more tips are welcome still - thank you all!

I'd advise checking your dehydration alcohols with a hydrometer.  This 
bleeding happened to me once and it turned out the alcohols after the Eosin 
were not graded.  My lab aide accidently used 100% only instead of 70%, 95% and 
then 100%.

[Histonet] EM question

2014-06-20 Thread Cartun, Richard
I have a question for those labs still performing Electron Microscopy for 
diagnosis.  What do you do if you have a specimen that turns out to be 
unsatisfactory for evaluation after you have done all the prep work?  Can you 
bill an 88348 (technical charge) without billing the professional fee 
(88348-26)?  Thank you.

2014-06-20 Thread Vanessa Avalos
We had the same problem. Increase your Alcohol/Reagents (following Eosin) times 
as well as using fresh ones. I use 80% for about 20 sec and (2)100% for a 
minute each and (3) Xylene Subs for 2 min each. I also use a fresh 80% and 
rotate the 100% each day. If using a Xylene Sub it could also be a possibility 
that your mounting medium is not compatible.
