I am certain this question has been asked before, but I could not find a clear, 
definitive answer; perhaps there isn't one but I'm going to ask anyway...

Is there any type of standard for cutting levels on tissue, this example 
referring to SLN. I was taught to get a representative section for H&E and IHC, 
go deeper into block for additional sections (50-100 um, using professional 
judgement), then repeating for the final level(s). 

This results in varying, representative levels throughout the block, plus it 
leaves tissue for additional studies if necessary. However I've realized that 
not everyone was taught this same way. I want to be certain I am teaching 
others a correct way, and would love to have something concrete to refer to for 
guidance. 

Thanks for any help!
