Hello, Histonet experts,
I have a puzzling bit of data that I am trying to resolve. Our group and
another group have performed LacZ stain on mouse pancreas to identify cells
expressing a LacZ reporter (the other group has published this expression
pattern). I am having trouble with the primary
Hello, Esteemed Histonetters,
I am trying to get nice publication-quality images of my immunofluorescent
tissue sections. I am currently using Prolong Gold, and after I let the stuff
cure for several days, my 100X oil-immersion images are still smeary, even
after taking into account the
Hello, Esteemed Histonetters!
I have a collaborator who asked me to drop his (mouse) bones into RNAlater for
RNA isolation, later. These animals were double labeled for histomorphometry as
well. He now wants to know if he can back them out of RNAlater and use them for
any histology-related
Hello, Esteemed Histonetters,
I am wondering if anyone happens to have a 21st century version of a 20th
century paper? In Search Of PDF files for any /all of the following:
Frost HM. Presence of microscopic cracks in vivo in bone. H. Ford Hosp. Med.
Bull. 1960;8:25–35.

Hi, All,
I just saw this question and the responses, thought I would add my own
solution to the mix. I do manual embedding, I use a hyb oven for my
infiltrating/embedding station (like for hybridizing Southern or Northern
blots- who does that anymore?). I have taken out the rotating wheel for
Hello, All,
I am looking into starting a plastic embedding/sectioning endeavor, and am
trying to figure out my startup reagents and protocols. I am seeing a lot of
protocols for the Technovit system, which uses a slide press to adhere the
sections to the slides, and would prefer to avoid
Hi, Teri,
How about this? It also gives a brief blurb in the description about
commonly used alternatives, if this isn't your thing. I've never tried it,
so I can't vouch for it myself, but Invitrogen does make some pretty darn
good stuff...

Hello, esteemed colleagues,
I am in need of a service to have my 16cm tungsten carbide Profile D (a.k.a.
Sweeney Todd) blades resharpened. Can anyone recommend a service that is
relatively accessible to the West coast? I looked in the archives and
couldn't find any recent posts, and my Googling
Hi, Everyone,
Happy Friday! I was wondering if anyone knows of a histological method to
distinguish strontium in bone vs. calcium? My understanding is that mineral
stains (von Kossa or Alizarin Red S) do not distinguish, but was wondering if
anyone has a procedure I may not have done or seen?
Hi, Brian,
It is likely to be a pH issue. If you use BM Purple as your detection chromogen
(which is what we use in our lab for whole mounts on X. laevis and
X.tropcialis, and mouse embryos for WMISH), then you must keep the embryos at
acid pH from BM Purple step onwards, or you will
I use FisherBrand SuperFrost Plus charged slides, the only time I have this
problem is when my waterbath is too hot, or if for some reason I use warmed
slides to retrieve my sections from the bath (like if you lay the unused slides
on the edge of the waterbath, or if you use the warm droplet
Hi, Teri,
I have seen it in some of my stains, but they were always in embryos of mice
from a particular strain (that we did not generate and have incomplete
construct information for). I always attributed it to a different LacZ allele,
as I have stained litters of a different strain
