dear histonetters,

Does anyone have experience trying to unfold frozen (30 micron) section after  IF staining and mounting (dried overnight, mounted in dpx after dehydration)? My guess is once it binds it is bound forever. A small piece  with important and nice staining folded on itself, it could be seen only after high mag. Wondering if the section could be somehow separated from fisher brand superfrost plus slide by light steaming or with excess of Triton or else to remount. would appreciate ideas or practical advice,
thanks!
