[Histonet] No embedding center OR tissue processor

[Tim Wheelock]

Hi Anila

When I first started my lab here in 1986, I had no embedding center or 
processor.

For processing specimens, I used jars that I would have to get up and 
jiggle every 15 minutes or so, including jars of paraffin stored in the 
oven.

For embedding I would use flat metal "cookie sheets" over ice.
What I used as a hot plate to manipulate the specimen in the mold  I 
cannot remember.
But a skillet, as Jan suggests (or perhaps an electric stirrer with a 
heating function) should do it.
