Hi Loralei, I will see If I can find someone with a sliding microtome. Are you using OCT to block the 50 um section? How do you ensure the section stays flat while blocking/freezing? Thank you for your reply ! E-van From: Loralei Dewe [mailto:lld...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, October 06, 2017

I would also be interested in knowing this tip if anyone knows it. I will also have to check out that book. We only do cryostat sections at our lab. *Haley Huggins, HT (ASCP)cm* *Technical Lab Supervisor* *1050 Las Tablas Rd, Suite 14* *Templeton, CA 93465* *Office: 877-230-1518* On Fri, Oct 6,

Hi Histonet , I have been trying to cut a FLAT 4 to 10 um frozen section from 50um sections of brain. Every time I think I have the tissue flat the sections are never in the same plane. I found a wonderful book in pdf format(A Practical Guide to Frozen Section Techniques, Stephen R. Peters)
