[Histonet] Auto-Figures
If anyone in this group has to make figures, or if you know others who do, you might be interested in FREE add-ons to Photoshop. You can get a figure layout add-on that will reduce the time it takes to make a figure into seconds. Other add-ons include scripts that ensure you are recording steps in Photoshop for an audit trail (good for GLP), and add-ons that include dozens of methods for post-processing.

[Histonet] soften beak
Hi, I am just wondering what you would recommend to soften avian beak for paraffin processing. I found a protocol that KOH could be used to soften keratin in nail, however, I have not been able to find that this method is applicable specific to beak. Another concern is if i use KOH for an entire head, does KOH affect (e.g. damage) soft tissues? Thank you in advance, rui ___ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
Re: [Histonet] Maximum size of tissue for paraffin processing
I am not aware of any such studies [dealing with specimen sizes] but it is a known fact since early XXth century that large specimens [such as complete brain slices] are known to be processed and yes, they require extended dehydrtaion → clearing → infiltration but not much more than usual IF the slices are thin enough, and yes, automated tissue processors can be used [I have done them for brain and whole prostates].René J.

[Histonet] Movat Stain Ferric Chloride Solution Color?
I do a lot of Movat Pentachrome stains. Every once in a while something goes wrong! I just made a solution of Ferric Chloride as follows: Dissolve 12.4 grams Ferric Chloride Hexahydrate in 500 ml dH2O. THen add 5.0 ml of concentrated Hydrochloric acid. What is troubling me is that the solution usually starts of brownish, then turns clear yellow after I add the HCl. This time is stayed brownish and didn't turn yellow. Seems like 15 years ago we did a Movat where someone hadn't added the HCL to the solution, it staed brown, and the Weigarts part of the stain didn't work. Any ideas? I'm sure I added the HCl.

RE: [Histonet] Maximum size of tissue for paraffin processing
We processed tissues as large as elk and lion vocal cords - 2 cm x 5 cm. You just need to adjust the time accordingly. Very large samples we would process manually through graded alcohols and then the last absolute, xylene and paraffin would be run on the tissue processor, we have programs that range from 6 to 24 hours a station depending upon tissue size. You can run the entire process cycle on a tissue processor its just that we did not want to hang up one of the processors for a week on one study. Liz Elizabeth A.
