I may never complain about tiny GI or bronch biopsies ever again!

Good Morning!
In keeping with the weirdness of the projects I get in this lab today 
my question is about processing mosquito GI tracts.
I have a processing schedule - that is not the problem. I'm wondering 
if anybody out in histoland has a suggestion for what kind of 
cassette to use. I was thinking of the histoscreen cassette because 
these GI tracts are so thin (I think thinner than a hair)and I don't 
want to wrap them or use sponges because I'm afraid that I'll loose 
them or crush them.
Any ideas?

Andi
