[Histonet] B5 question

[Andrea Grantham]

Quick question regarding using B5 and Zenkers fixatives and the  
registry exam...
Can anybody tell me if questions on these techniques still being asked  
on the exam?

I'm working on a tumor project and some of the blocks are ancient and  
the tissue was fixed in B5. So my student was asking about B5 and I  
was telling her about the treatment before staining for Zenkers and B5  
and she said that hadn't been covered in her classes. So do they need  
to know this for the exam?

Personally, it doesn't matter to me if they need to know it or not for  
the exam - I think they should know about it
