[Histonet] positioning tissues in OCT

[Jackie M O'Connor]

Double embed them.  Embed them flat - when that block hardens,  trim and 
turn it 90 degrees to where you can re-embed it so you get the desired 
orientation.

[Histonet] positioning tissues in OCT






For our paraffin blocks we embed rat gi on end so when sectioned you get
a little circle of tissue. Any suggestions on how to do this for
cryosections?  The fresh tissues have been too soft and flexible to stay
standing up in the OCT until it freezes. Thanks.
