[Histonet] Problems with HE Bleeding

Hello Histonetters, We have recently noticed some bleeding of our HE stained tissues and I was curious to hear if anyone has had problems with this before. There will just be a faint halo of stain around the tissue. This seems to be happening inconsistently (various tissues, even differences

[Histonet] Aspergillus tissue blocks for controls

We are in desperate needs of obtaining GMS controls. In the old days we had all the fungal specimens we needed. Today it is getting hard to find these tissues or controls. Does anyone have any idea where we can get tissue blocks with Aspergillus or does anyone have any other suggestions

RE: [Histonet] Problems with HE Bleeding

You probably have water and/or alcohol contamination in your xylenes. Make sure your dehydrating alcohols after the eosin are really clean. Laurie Colbert, HT (ASCP) Histology Supervisor PATH MD 8158 Beverly Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90048 (323) 648-3214 direct (424) 245-7284 main lab

Re: [Histonet] basement membranes

Electron Microscope. Even if you did a periodic acid-methenamine silver stain (PASM, Jones), which in my opinion is the best histology stain, since it is a silver stain, you can get different thicknesses of basement membrane (bm) by leaving it in longer or shorter than is optimal for that

Re: [Histonet] Aspergillus tissue blocks for controls

Hi Jim, I have found a couple of ways. First, if you are fortunate to have a micro department nearby, they can make a very nice one for you (a Histotip in Sakura's Histologic). Another method, which doesn't work the best, can be moldy orange peel. And the easiest, you can create your own
