[Histonet] brain tissue

Try fixing the brains in 10% NBF instead.  We do rat brains all the time,
and the sections are beautiful.  Also, check your dehydration times in your
processing schedule.

Dear Histonetters
I work with rat´s brains fixed in paraformaldehyde. I have problems with
paraffin inclusion and section. I always obtain brittle sections.
Help me
Thanks in advance
