After getting the "essentials" (microtome, water bath, oven, staining dishes and needed supplies) you have to decide a price. Charge by the slide. One H&E stain costs about $4.50, with everything else (from cutting to staining) I would charge $10/stained section. René J. Pam Bakken <Pam.Bakken <@t> childrensmn.org> wrote:
