[Histonet] Formaldehyde: tissue degradation

[Geoff McAuliffe]

I would start with the classic texts:

*The Microtomist's Vade-Mecum.* Bolles Lee, Arthur. 10th edition, 1937. 
J.B. Gatenby and T.S. Painter, editors. P. Blakiston's Son and Co., Inc.

*The Microtomist's Formulary and Guide.* Gray, Peter; 1954. The 
Blakiston Co., Inc.

*Selected Histochemical and Histopathological Methods.* Thompson, Samuel 
W. 1966, Charles C. Thomas.

*Histological Techniques.* M. Gabe (English edition, transl. E. Blackith 
and A. Kavoor). Masson, Paris, 1976


Also, how are you going to define "valid scientific evaluation"?
