Dear Peggy,

I would have thought cryo sectioning would give much better results.

Subject: [Histonet] Plant Tissue Processing

I have a professor here who would like me to make 10-15 micron thick
sections of lawn grass. I thought the best way to do this would be
paraffin
embedding. Does anybody have any suggestions as to the time/types for my
paraffin tissue processor? I am not very familiar working with plant
material.

Thank you very much, Maggie
