>>Howdy Histoland,
>>     I swear one day I'm gonna shoot me a pathologist. We are diving into the
>>realm of hair pulls by dermatologists to look for fungus. Any ideas on how
>>to handle these itsy bitsy specimens? Embedding tips? We were successful on
>>the first specimen, but haven't even come close since then. I'm pulling my
>>hair out.
>>     We are supposed to be a nice little lab that does routine histology.
>>Don't the "reference" part fool ya. Ummmmmm, maybe some one should have told
>>this pathologist that.
