[Histonet] Square waffle weave cryostat chucks

[Gayle Callis]

For those not familiar with now available square waffle weave cryostat 
chucks, they are superb little inventions!!  They do have a stem on them so 
they fit perfectly in cryostats ie. Leica 1850, 1800  and others that hold 
onto a stem.  You can see them in a publication in J of Histotechnology, 
written by the pathologist who invented  a clever freezing device that 
improves orientation, and a perfect block for cryowork -   published in 
2003, early in the year.  He has exhibited/demonstrated this instrument at 
NSH conventions.  Always nice to see new things on the market to make our 
lives easier inside a cryostat!
