We've got about a dozen different types of plants of various shapes and
sizes, even a rubber tree. They thrive very well on the fumes. That and
the fish water from our 50 gal. aquarium................

I recently upgraded my three Axioskops/verts from 50W mercury to EXfo's 
XCite 100W lamps. I have no regrets and highly recommend them: we use
DAPI, 
Hoechst, Alexas 488 and 594 routinely. To me,  the 100W mercury vapour
lamps 
still have the"edge" over the Xcite lamps( I have one as well) in 
brightness, tho. But, given the ease of use, the longevity of the lamps
and 
the evenness of the illumination field I would recommend the Xcite
lamps.
NB: they create fan-  noise, tho! Particularly the older ones; their new

models are much quieter Test one out, anyway.

><snip>< Then we put the tissue (rat or
mouse brain) into 30% sucrose in 0.1 M phosphate buffer (PB) and leave
it for at least overnight (you don't say how long you leave it) or until
the tissue floats. ><snip><

That should read until the tissue sinks. :)

It's much easier to section this material if you have a cryostat that
has a temperature control on the specimen holder.  I will echo the
suggestion that you try different freezing media, although we have never
had any trouble with the OCT compound.  We have only done a couple
rodent brain frozen sections though.

If your section is laying flat on your blade/blade holder before picking
up, then part of the problem is in your mounting technique.  I recommend
starting the pickup at one end of your tissue (at the edge closest to
you towards the bottom of the slide) and then learn to move the slide
slightly towards you as you lower it down to the blade.  If you just
plop the slide down flat on your section, you will introduce wrinkles
and bubbles in your section.

Admittedly, I've never totally perfected whole brain sections and am
awed by those publications that show flawless sections (but wonder how
many it took to get that look!).

Good luck and let us know what works for you!

We have several plants in our lab.  African Violets seem to do extremely
well and bloom all year round.  It adds some nice color to our
environment.

I'm all for plants in he lab. (or anywhere).

A Norfolk pine seems a tad extravagant. I've seen  them about 20 metres
tall!
