Subject: [Histonet] section thickness
Histonetters:
Here's a query from Janet that she couldn't get to post to the list.
Please respond to the list so she'll see the response. Thanks.
I would like to poll the group regarding routine practices for thickness
of paraffin sections. I am particularly interested in brain, spinal
cord, lymph node, tonsil, and renal biopsy Most references range from
3-6 um for routine tissues with 4-5um being most prevalent. What do you
use? Which tissues do you cut at a different thickness routinely?
I am not referring to special stains as the protocol would prescribe the
thickness.
Thanks for your help.
