Hello Histonet,
My name is Seth Oppong,a histotech in Ghana,West Africa.A philanthropic
histotechnologist in the US is helping me set up a small commercial and
research lab of my own.He recently sent me a leica tp 1050 tissue processor
which is in fairly good condition.Anytime i switch it on ,
What is it exactly that they don't like about the biopsies? What type of
microtomy errors? Too thick? Chatter? Thick-thin ribbons?
Also, are the rest of non-biopsy tissues looking OK? And, are all the
tissues being run on the same tissue processor time schedule?
We can guess at the problem,
Hi Teresa:
What you describe is the result of repetitive actions while completing your
histology assignments, and is a cumulative result.
The microtome issue surfaced in 1995 (17 years ago!) but I am sure that you
started your histology career earlier.
Forceps while embedding and
Why don't you ask your philanthropic histotechnologist in the US? S/he may know
the answer.

Hello everyone! I am currently enrolled in an HT program through IUPUI and
am starting to send resumes out as I encroach into the end of the program.
I asked my supervisor recently if there was a scope for this field in the
world of conservation?! She wasn't sure but recommended this site to me
As you point out, histology is a fundamental tool in human AND veterinary
pathology and every clinical AND veterinary laboratory performs histology
procedures/tests routinely.
In other fields of biology either animal or plant biology it is NOT customary
to do histology studies of plants or
Hi Margaret and Rene,
I'm wet behind the ears when it comes to this field, still in
Histotech program and have only been in the field as a lab assistant thus
far for about 4 years, so I'm trying to understand as much as I can through
other's methods. I have a question about your
Wow! Thanks for your response Rene!! I did not know that histology covered
such a specific world. So it seems that if a researcher were going about
studying ontogeny, that would be a hard area to find and get into.

I'm entering this field young and wet behind the ears. I've almost
completed my Histotech program and have worked as a lab assistant for the
past 4 years or so. I often hear from my co-workers over in the histology
department that Pathologists and PAs should have to take a class or two in
fixation
Bharti,
I don’t know what your academic background is,aside from the IUPUI program,
but I would really encourage you to think “outside the box” and envision
exactly what type of histology career you’d like to have, and in what
particular area. There are unique [histology] opportunities out there
Yea, Rene was kind enough to respond. And your right the field is pretty
limited. I mean 7 billion plus people on the planet, how many really even
understand Histology much less ontogeny? Agh reminds me of my old college days
when my professor spoke about ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny every
Hi Bharti,
As Rene notes, it is not a given that every researcher in conservation or
environmental science uses histology in their research, although they should!
But, everyone is specialized these days and we can only know and apply so much;
however, collaborations with histologists and
Hi Esther,
That's incredibly fascinating! I have been wondering if this type
of facet exists. That's right in my wheelhouse in terms of where I'd like
to take this skill. I plan on finishing my studies with a B.S. and maybe
pursue a Master's at California State University East Bay
