[Histonet] History of Histology

[Piero Nelva]

I can also recommend the volume by Bracegirdle "History of Microtechnique". 
Everything you ever wanted to know about microtomes and related equipment.

Happy Wednesday (or Thursday) Netters
I'm in the process of a small project and need to see if you know a book or 
website that talks about early histology procedures. Who was the first one 
to use a fixative, dehydrant, clearing agent and infiltration wax? How we 
developed from jars to automatic processors, etc. My wrists are sore from 
surfing. I Googled up to 2,000,000 hits. I think I've developed carpal 
tunnel syndrome. My fingers are numb. Thanks in advacne (see)
