[Histonet] Orienting GI biopsies during embedding

2009-09-24 Thread ssylvest
Everyone,

We are having a heck of a time orienting GI biopsies but esophageal biopsies in 
particular, during embedding. If anyone could share their secret for getting 
these tiny specks of semi-transparent tissue oriented, we would greatly 
appreciate it.

There is a very fine Technical Note by I. Dimenstein in the last issue of the 
JOH that can help you solve this problem.

I would recommend you try to embed them on edge.
Even if very small, you will be surprised how many are correctly
embedded
