If you are just sectioning the (relatively softer) seed, then you might
consider softening it in 4% EDT ethylene diamine, a.k.a. 1,2-diaminoethane.
That _might_ work for the rather harder shell surrounding the seed, if you need
to section that. Steaming the shell, or boiling it, night be necessa

Hello,
I have cut small pieces of pine (wood) on the cryostat by soaking it in warm
water. I had to collect the sections in a water bath so they would unfold.
The longer you soak it, especially warm or hit water, the softer it should in

Good luck!

Hi Histonetters,
I am doing some research into HIER in electric pressure cookers, are there any

Hello everyone,
My director has asked if I can find the average lifespan of this stainer, and

This may sound like a silly question, Rich, (or maybe not), but how do you know

I think we have had several break over the years... Is this where they say you

Hi Everyone,
I am using a Leica RM2255 microtome with a universal cassette clamp. Two of the
clamps have broken over the past year.
Has anyone else had a problem with these?

Hi everyone,
I hope all is going well in the new year. I was wondering if everyone that
stores their paraffin blocks in the plastic tissue tek block filing cabinets,
stores these cabinets directly on the floor or do you all place them on some
sort of stand?
Thank you
