[Histonet] Ideas needed

[louise renton]

Edda,

This depends why you want to transfer it. If it is because the slide is 
broken, then you can decoverslip it, and reassemble the pieces on another 
slide using mounting media to stick it down and recoverslip. Not beautiful, 
but it works.

If you want the section detached for some other reason, I recall seeing an 
article that used an adhesive  (I think) called Diatex. Someone on histonet 
has this information,( if memory serves it was a gentleman either in Finland 
or with a Finnish surname) as I asked for the reference a while ago. 
Unfortunately, I've had a big cleanup, and so threw it away. This substance 
is used to detach cytology smears so that they can be subdivided for 
different stains.

Hopefully someone else has more details

Regards
