[Histonet] Two Questions

[Katelin Lester]

Hi Nicole,
You must get a microscope. Spend $600, get a teaching binocular one. You
absolutely can not have a histology lab without a microscope. You must be
able to check the quality of your staining and cutting.
That being said, the lab that does the PC component should also do QC on
your slides. If there are major issues they should address them right away,
otherwise, you can set up a QC Form that they fill out quarterly to assure
your slides are meeting their standards.
