Re: [Histonet] On-line references

John,
Thank you for your response. I should have been a little clearer in my original 
post. I was posting the question on behalf of one of my students.  In the 
course that I teach I have chosen to not use a required textbook. I list 
several recommended texts, including yours. Many of the students do in fact buy 
the texts. However, many use the texts I have reserved in our school's library. 
Since our library is closed, I wondered which current texts had e-versions so 
that the students could buy those and have access immediately. I was also 
wanting to direct our library to purchase e versions to prevent this kind of 
bottleneck from ever happening in the future. I am familiar with all of the 
common physical textbooks, but, not so for the electronic versions. I wondered 
if there were particularly good electronic versions.  Thanks. Tom

Hello, Tom.

Some old classics are there for free, most notably JR Baker's "Principles of 
Biological Microtechnique" (1958), but almost anything more recent has to be 
bought.

There are plenty of cheap older editions of histotechnology books on sites like 
AbeBooks. Check it out for the last edition of  Pearse's Histochemistry!  I was 
amazed.

Even the latest editions of books in our field cost only about $100 from the 
publisher and most are good for several years.  Compare this with the price of 
a few drops of an antibody or (more realistically) a staining machine in which 
you must only use the liquids sold by its vendor.

Given that our Institute's library is closed due to the pandemic, is anyone 
aware of on-line versions of Histotechnology/ Histochemistry textbooks? Thanks.

And I appreciate Bryan Llewellyn and the other old experienced hands
and I really like Gray and Humason and even Lillie, and the others and the
way they wrote and the way they thought,
and their delight and fascination with the world they were discovering.

[Histonet] Reagent alcohol

[Rhonda Ford via Histonet]

Good morning.  I was wondering if any of you all are having problems
receiving reagent alcohol in this time of crisis?  Hope not!  We need to
keep our tissue processors rolling!
