[Histonet] interesting pictures

[Rene J Buesa]

Lesley:
These photos I am sure are real and current. I have received similar photos from a Russian colleague some time ago and they reflect how histology is practiced today in the majority of histology labs. There are labs in universities and academic institutions somewhat better equiped, but the general practice is as shown in these pictures.
   
  To these conditions you have to add that the salary of one of our colleagues ranges between 112 and 145 US$ per month paid for 21 days of work with 6 hours each. This is equivalent to from 0.88 to 1.15 US$ per hour. This salary can cover betwee 0.83 and 1.08 of the cost of the average bread-basket (US$ 134/month).
   
  Add shortages of supplies and other "inconveniences" and you would have to agree that in Russia our colleagues have to be really dedicated to their profession to "persevere" in it.

I think that everyone who feels underequipped should look at these fascinating photographs. It is like turning the clock back 60+ years. Thank you so much for putting them on Histonet.
