Amber: I find this EXTREMELY irritating when an outside institution either
writes their accession number on the label or puts another label over the top
of my hospitals labels. It is not rude to ask other hospitals to not do this;
that doesn't mean they won't do it. I will forward you my slid
James: Depending upon the amount of EM work your have - another option is to

to work with the owner of the scope for availability but it wo

Even if a facility does not require that techs be HT registered - the
technicians themselves need go that extra step, take the initiative themselves
and become HT certified. If a portion of histologists don't recognize or care
about the merit of certification how can we progress our profession
I believe the question is: what does the "O" in Oil Red O stand for?

OR's to retrieve muscle biopsy tissue.
We offer this service for a number of reasons; we maintain excellent

How about these postings to histonet? Is everyone else getting these
from Tuyen Nguyen & Diamond Ranch Music? If so - can these people/email
addresses be deleted from the histonet service?
A little redneck humor is one thing - but the love boutique sex shop is
another.

I had the great privilege to speak with Russ Allison at a conference in
Australia several years ago. He was a funny man, he was a wild man and
enjoyable to be around. His birthday was October 31st - and a Halloween has
never gone by since or will go by that I won't think of him. Cheers Russ!!
Michael: I use 1.5mm nichrome transfer loops for IHC staining of 50um
free floating sections and I move them into clean culture wells for each
solution. I purchase mine from Ted Pella. It does takes some practice
but the loops work quite well with minimal damage to the tissue.
