[Histonet] Botanical stains

[Akemi Allison-Tacha]

Dear Elizabeth,

If you really want to hear it from the horses mouth,
talk to Dr. Richard Horobin.  He is a wonderful man,
who truely loves histology!  He probably has more
degrees than a thermometer!  He is the editor for the
Biological Stain Commision's journal. His e-mail is:
richardhorobin <@t> tomcroy.co.uk  

Give him my Best Regards & Next Time lets Share a
Pint!
