[Histonet] thick frozen sections

[Alan Bright]

-Dear Cora,

Your results indicate that the mouse brain is too cold, to rectify
section @ -8 to -12ºC and cool the knife at least 10º colder, if a
specimen temperature control is not fitted achieve this with solid CO2
in contact with the knife. We achieve sections up to 600 microns using
this method with ease.

Best Regards

I would appreciate any suggestions on cutting 100 micron frozen sections
of 
mouse brain for immunohistochemistry.  our sections either crack or show
a 
lot of chatter.


Thanks,

Cora Bucana
