Even if the online schools teach the theory of Histology, they expect the supervisor/techs to teach the potential HT's how to perform Histology. Even though there is no practical anymore, potential HT's have to be taught the hands on part of the job with OJT. Even though I've heard many people say that there is no more OJT, really there is b/c if these future HT's don't attend an actual HT school where there are classrooms/practice labs full of teachers, then we as working HT's have to teach our future co-workers how to do our job so that we'll have more people to pick from to hire. Does any other profession handle their future employee's like this or is Histology in a category of its own?

Subject: RE: [Histonet] HT schools
Remember that now there is no practical portion of the HT exam, so they are
not being tested on hands on experiences anyway. The most difficult problem
I have with training people on the job (and I have trained many) is that now
they are not prepared to take the exam because they are examined all on
theory. I have some really well trained people who can do the work really
well, but they have a hard time taking the computer test which they pretty
much have to memorize out of books.

Someone has to teach them the "hands on" part of histology. I do not leave
this to my staff. I teach / give them the skills they need to perform the
practical part of their profession. As their supervisor I am very much
involved in their training. I am sure I am not the only one.??

Subject: Re: [Histonet] HT schools
Wrong! The advantage of the "on line" or "distance learning" courses is that
they provide the theory on line while you are working at a given laboratory
doing your training (or even as part of your daily work) so there is no
"actual training" to be done by the supervisor.
At this moment NAACLS has 30 HT and 3 HTL accredited programs only, with an
overall capacity of about 300-325 students, and this will not be enough to
take care of all the retiring histotechs.
Costs is one of the reasons why the number of HTs schools is dwindling.

Where are all the HT accredited schools and why aren't there more out
there? I've seen the online classes' people can take, but that
requires
them to be trained in a lab, as well, for the "hands on" part. So,
actually the supervisor still has to train potential HT's "on the
job"
before they can sit for the board exam. Right?

[Histonet] stainless steel bucket
Does anyone know where I can purchase a stainless steel basket/bucket to
wash my cassette lids in? We use xylene and Liqui-Nox to wash them each
day and our plastic buckets eventually end up tearing and breaking over
time and I have to constantly replace them, so I'm looking for something
more stable like stainless steel.

It doesn't matter how many cameras there are, if someone wants to do something they will find a way. I came in this morning to find someone had stolen my computer speakers and one of our printers from our AutoStainers.

Come on.
In these times of terror concerns I am not sure I would work in a place
where I did not feel secure and the use of these devices help in that
matter.
We built a brand new University of Colorado Health Sciences Center and there
are cameras all over the place as well as lock down. If you do not have an
access card you cannot get into the labs. This was a pain at first but with
all the crazy's we have to worry about out there it now makes me feel
better.
I just read in the paper this morning about a researcher whose house was
bombed by Peta types for doing animal research, and we have had all sorts of
disturbances over the years with precious research animals being released,
protests, etc.

I work in a secure building--you need proximty cards to get in, use the elevators, etc. But cameras in the lab seem rather much. If you have a Union, I woud consider make a greivance out of it--unsafe and hostile work environment, kind of thing.

Amber, consider looking in a kitchen ware department for stainless steel mixing bowls or tall cannister sets with the appropriate sized containers that you want. Also, commercial kitchen/restuarant suppliers will have large stainless steel containers as well as varying sizes. If you have a Smart and Final, they sometimes have cooking utensils.

Yes. Security is of the highest priority for these matters, however,
were the cameras in the "public" places? Entrances and exits which need
to be and usually are monitored I would understand. We also have
lockdown procedures and cameras in the "public" areas and key card
accesses which, yes are a pain, but necessary, especially in these
times. It is also quite clear that you are under video surveillance
(there are signs POSTED everywhere!) Four cameras, which seem to be
"monitoring" the workforce I do have a problem with. Silently installing
them on a weekend without benefit of explanation, I have a problem with.

You should call up one of the Television networks and make a "reality show" out of it.
Just a thought.

It doesn't matter how many cameras there are, if someone wants to do something they will find a way. I came in this morning to find someone had stolen my computer speakers and one of our printers from our AutoStainers.

Come on.
In these times of terror concerns I am not sure I would work in a place
where I did not feel secure and the use of these devices help in that
matter.
We built a brand new University of Colorado Health Sciences Center and there
are cameras all over the place as well as lock down. If you do not have an
access card you cannot get into the labs. This was a pain at first but with
all the crazy's we have to worry about out there it now makes me feel
better.
I just read in the paper this morning about a researcher whose house was
bombed by Peta types for doing animal research, and we have had all sorts of
disturbances over the years with precious research animals being released,
protests, etc.

I was wondering how many techs out there have cameras in their labs, either
for security or to monitor employees. I went to work Sunday night and
noticed that 4 cameras were installed in the lab over the weekend, with more
to come.

thats a useful option... until the point where every viable place you

Does anyone know where I can purchase a stainless steel basket/bucket to

Hello again
If anyone remembers my post late last week on cross polarization the
reason why I asked that is that I have a paper of a technique that used
cross polarization and picrosirius stained slides to differenciate
collagen I fibers from collagen III fibers. In the paper they basically
stated the the thicker collagen I fibers looked orange-red and the
thinner collagen III fibers looked green. I have not heard of this
before and was a bit confused, I thought that picrosirus just stained
for collagen, so I initally thought that maybe cross polarization is
different than routine polarization. I have since found out that they
are one in the same. My question now is there anyone out there familar
with using picrosirus to differenciate collagen III from collagen I and
can you do that?
Thanks in advance
PS - I do have the paper if anyone is intersted in looking at it.

Liz,
I have watching this thread to see if someone mentions a rotating stage.
Having serviced microscopes in the past, I know that there are
polarizing microscopes that are set up with a rotating polarizer below
the condenser and a stationary analyzer (same as a Polarizer but called
an analyzer because it is above the specimen) above the objectives.
Then once you have aligned the polarizer and analyzer to get the
polarized light you can rotate the stage of the microscope to see the
different colors depending on the alignment of the crystal or fiber.
Picrosirus red will stain other tissue elements and the conformation of
what is stained is collagen is with polarization (Histological &
Histochemical Methods J.A. Kiernan pg. 150). This is a good reference
on this technique.
Please send me a copy of this paper. Thank you

I would say that teaching Electron Microscopy is the same. There are a few
schools (two, I believe) that offer an official degree (it's an Associate
Degree) in Electron Microscopy, but most of my learning has been on the job
and that is how I work with my students - one on one.
Here at Princeton we offer a class in electron optics, but it is just
theory.
My first job was at the National Institutes of Health and my boss there had
a degree in theoretical physics. He gave me a few books and I taught myself,
at least in the beginning. He knew the instrument, but nothing about sample
prep.
The Microscopy Society of America does offer a Electron Microscopist
Certification for those who want to have this. But I have been doing EM
since 1980, so never felt the need to be certified.

Hey Histonetters! Is anyone out there in histoworld running p16 on the
Ventana system? If so, can you provide us with your protocol and where
you are ordering it from? We are aware that MTM is presently the only
vendor for p16 but it is rather pricey and are wondering if there are
any alternatives available out there. Once again thank you so much for
your help.
