Re: [Histonet] Histopathology text recommendations

[Esther C Peters via Histonet]

Hi Gordon,


I think you meant a histopathology atlas for slide reading, right? I am not a 
human histopathologist, but there are many such texts available, for example, 
see these at Amazon:


https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks=histopathology

Amazon.com: histopathology: 
Books
www.amazon.com
Online shopping from a great selection at Books Store.

Also, several websites from medical schools offer virtual microscopy histoslide 
collections of different pathologies, such as:


https://med.virginia.edu/biomolecular-analysis-facility/services/shared-instrumentation/aperio-scanscope-slide-scanner/catalogs-of-histology-and-pathology-virtual-slides-on-the-web/


http://www.mbfbioscience.com/iowavirtualslidebox


https://www.amboss.com/us/knowledge/Virtual_histopathology_slide_box


And others, just search in Google for "histopathology virtual slide box."


Perhaps one of the pathologists on this list-serv can guide you to the best 
one(s) for your needs!

Subject: [Histonet] Histopathology text recommendations

Can anyone give me recommendations for a good histopathology text and
atlas? I'm not a professional or even a formal student, I'm an amateur
microscopist with a keen interest in histology, although I did attend a UK
medical school many years ago only to decide that medicine was not for me.
I'm now retired and expanding my interest in microscopy, which has
fascinated me since the age of 8, I now have a collection of decent
microscopes and microtomes and I'm setting up my study as a home microscopy
and slide making facility. I have a growing collection of old histology
slides including a number of pathology examples and I'm keen to be able to
identify the histological changes that take place due to disease. In
particular I am looking to be able to identify and photograph carcinomas as
I recently acquired a photomicrography bench used by the Imperial Cancer
Research Campaign in London during the 1950s and 1960s, and it would be
appropriate to use it for the purpose it was designed for.

Hope someone can help, I've subscribed to this list for many years but only
rarely posted anything, the last time was when I enquired about replaceable
blade holders for the original Cambridge rocking microtome and a very kind
histologist in the USA sent me a slightly damaged holder and some blades.
Fortunately I never managed to adapt it for the Cambridge as it is a
perfect fit for the Reichert and Leitz rotary microtomes I now own!

[Histonet] Weigert's hematoxylin for IHC

[Esther C Peters via Histonet]

Could someone advise me on whether Weigert's iron hematoxylin can be used as 
the counterstain for nuclei in IHC? We need to avoid using Harris's hematoxylin 
because that will stain mucocytes in the coral tissues we are working with. If 
it can be used, would that be after all antibody steps have been done? Thank 
you!

Re: [Histonet] Handline paraffin

[Esther C Peters via Histonet]

However, I would be concerned if using Paraplast Plus (+) because it contains 
dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to infiltrate the tissue faster. It can be absorbed 
through bare skin and you get a garlic taste in your mouth, making you wonder 
what else was absorbed into your body (DMSO is used for transdermal drug 
administration). We wear gloves when working with molten Paraplast +, but not 
for microtomy of the solidified blocks.

It is absolutely NOT necessary to wear gloves when working with paraffin. This 
is NOT a harmful or irritating substance. It is just an oil of high molecular 
weight (mineral oil)René

 This is kind of an odd question, but I was asked by a pathologist for any SOPs

specifically related to paraffin hazards?
