Re: [Histonet] folds in tissue

Try floating your sections on room temperature (in a shallow dish) water then carefully, on a slide, transfer to the waterbath. Sections will spread better when they hit the warm water. Good luck! Sheila Haas Laboratory Manager MicroPath Laboratories, Inc. From: Jennifer Sipes jengirl1

Every tech in my facility uses something different. Some use fingers, some use forceps (usually curved), one uses a teasing needle and one uses a paint brush. It's up to the individual's technique but we do try to discourage using one's fingers too close to the blade. Hope this helps.   Sheila
