Okay, I can't stand this! Although I always make sure my ribbon is placed shiny-side-down on the water bath, sometimes the only section this poor ol' tech is able to get might land upside down. In that case, I just tell the pathologist the turn the slide over on the 'scope. Kinda like when they give me a piece of tissue that has to be stuffed into the base mold? I have to wrap the section around the slide and I let them know they need to turn the slide on its side to see the edges of the tissue. So far, that's helping to cut down on the too-wide tissue sections .
Aaaahhh...retirement! I can sit here in the comfort of my own home and make snide remarks on Histonet at my leisure! Cowabunga! The Joy! And I still have 18 days to go. _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
