On this note, has anyone noticed that egg albumin-coated slides are better
than TESPA (3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane)
-coated slides for paraffin sectioning? We're using them for H&E and IHC.  I
assume that egg-albumin would have more background in IHC, but I haven't
tried it yet.

laugh itself sick by forbidding the teaching of evolution?
