[Histonet] Kawamoto Method

[Prentice, Linda]

I am interested in using the Kawamoto tape method but we have not found a 
source for the supplies. Can anyone direct me to one?
Thanks in advance

[Histonet] drosophila paraffin histology technique

[Prentice, Linda]

I would appreciate help with finding  a good paraffin protocol for drosophila 
(fruit flies).  I am currently using Bouin's fixative followed by a routine 
alcohol, xylene substitute and paraffin infiltration technique.  I need a 
protocol that will allow better infiltration than I am currently getting, I 
have tried potassium hydroxide to soften the outer layer of the fruit fly but 
there was only a slight improvement.  We are looking at the Malpighian tubules 
and I will need serial section.

thanks
