Hello Histonetter, I hope someone out there in histoland can help me. I am about to be thrust (kicking and screaming) into the world of undecalcified bone histology and I need lots of help. My goals for 2009 will involve sectioning/staining and doing Image analysis on undecalcified rat and mouse bone samples. I am not completely unfamiliar with these methods but I learn these methods from some wise old, I mean experienced ladies that were specialists in bone histology. These ladies have now since retired and I am without any methods. I work in a small (2 histologist, 1 pathologist) histolab that does mouse and rat work and only decalcifed bone tissue. I have done plastic work in the past but that was 10 years ago in a land far, far away... If anyone out there could please refer me to a histology text books or share methods that would be of great help.
If you do rat and mouse bone work and would be will to talk about methods/stains/ embedding/grinding/plastic processing/ image analysis that would be absolutely great. Thanks for any help you can provide..
