[Histonet] SLIDE PRINTER

[Andrea Grantham]

BUT...I have a small lab and can't justify a more expensive printer so  
we purchased this printer - in fact we probably purchased the last one  
that AccuPlace sold before Thermo got it.
I like it a lot and even though we have returned a couple of them we  
have no complaints. It does a nice job. We were lucky to get it at the  
AccuPlace price.
